Mode sizes - but somewhat OT

get_iplayer's --info for PID b09ffrlp shows dvflow1 and dvflow2
approximated as 248MiB.  I downloaded b09ffrlp using

    ./get_iplayer --get --tvmode dvflow 3915

and got 318,790,871 bytes for 01:19:18.04 of video and audio.  That's
304.02 MiB.  `ffmpeg -i *b09ffrlp*.mp4' says

    Stream #0:1(und): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661),
    yuvj420p(pc, bt709), 512x288 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 437 kb/s, 25 fps,
    25 tbr, 25k tbn, 50 tbc (default)

of which 512x288 is probably of most interest to you.

You should have a read of this page too, in particular
