Issues with Large Files

[artisticforge .]

hello

I have noticed this also. iTunes would not import audio & video files
into the iTunes Library.
While researching the cause it became apparent that the files were
thousands of small chunks.
I have found that running them through Handbrake "fixes" them.

i do not see anything that get_iplayer may do to alleviate  the
problem. this is a BBC issue.
