Lyrics                                   : First shown in 2010, when she 
was 92, Diana Athill was suddenly a celebrity. Her frank and 
entertaining memoirs, mainly written after the age at which most people 
retire, chart a life less ordinary. She's had a string of love affairs, 
mainly with married, black and/or younger men, enjoyed fifty years of 
success as an editor, worked with writers as distinguished as Jean Rhys, 
Norman Mailer and VS Naipaul, and led a privileged childhood in a 
Norfolk mansion. Recently, she has chosen to go into an old people's 
home, where they take people 'who have had interesting lives'. Alan 
Yentob meets her to discuss her life, her work - and her outspoken 
thoughts on death. /  / EPISODE /

I have set my path to ffmpeg in my prefs thus:-

alastair at ibmserver2:~> get_iplayer --prefs-show
Options in '/home/alastair/.get_iplayer/options'
         output = /home/alastair/GiP_Recordings
         tvmode = dvf
         ffmpeg = /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

I shall have to remind myself about the tvmode option but it is covered 
in this list and I am using dash as an act of faith because I understand 
other options will fall by the wayside eventually.

I had trouble with ffmpeg from packman and was pointed to another 
variant.  Trouble is I cannot remember why but here is my version.  If 
all else fails you could try this:-

Grist to the mill and hope you get things sorted soon.
