Being Human Series 1 Episode 3 is a bit strange file

[artisticforge .]

Hello

Being Human Series 1 Episode 3 b00hkc4x is of version
'other'. This 'other' version downloads and tags correctly.
the issue with it is that iTunes will not load it into the iTunes Library.
The Quick Look feature of Mac OSX will not play the episode.
VLC, does play the "other" version.

Using handbrake on Mac OSX;  the 'other' version was "processed"
to a handbrake copy.
This handbrake copy will load into the iTunes Library and the Quick Look
feature does play the episode. The handbrake copy is roughly half the size
in bytes.
The 'other' version is close to the size of the other Being_Human Series 1
episodes.

Being_Human_Series_1_-_3._Episode_3_b00hkc4x_other.mp4
2.23 GB on disk (2,225,940,368 bytes)

I did check the long info for the pid and the version 'other' is the
only existing version.

So what exactly is meant with a version of 'other'?

Below is that output from get_iplayer-2.96.
