Hi and thanks for the suggestion.  I created 900 sec, 1800 sec and 3600 
sec and none showed any fault when checked with AtomicParsley. eg:-

AtomicParsley version: 0.9.6 (utf8)
------------------------------------------------------
Movie duration: 3600.024 seconds (01:0:0.02) - 69.29* kbp/sec bitrate 
(*=approximate)
Low-level details. Total tracks: 1
Trk  Type  Handler                    Kind  Lang  Bytes
1    soun  SoundHandler               mp4a  und   31181746
      69.29 kbp/s  MPEG-4 AAC Low Complexity/LC Profile    channels: [1]


I would point out however that these files are mono at about 70 kbp/s 
whereas my problem files are at 320 kbp/s in stereo.  Would that make 
any difference?
