Error with ffmpeg with V3.00

[Dave Widgery]

Hi
If you look in your c:\Program Files\get_iplayer\utils directory you
will see a program file called ffmpeg.exe, all I did is rename this
and copy the previous version if ffmpeg.exe into this directory.

With initial tests with the download files that I have it appears to
work, but no guarantees there may be lots of reasons why it might not
work depending on what quality you download etc.  Ultimately this is
only a workaround, unfortunately the solution is to upgrade
