Well, `df -t tmpfs' will probably show /tmp is a tmpfs so you could
`--output /tmp' and you should see its intermediate files, and the final
file, only appear there.  `--command' could then move that final file to
the SSD, or run a conversion command that writes to the SSD and then
removes the tmpfs input.

As for altering the ffmpeg command that get_iplayer is using, I'm not
sure that's worthwhile?  It isn't doing any transcoding, just changing
the container format, or splicing in better audio, that kind of thing.
So your `lossy' slow-down ffmpeg from 50 fps to 25 fps won't be a second
lossy one that you'd prefer to combine with the first.  I could be
wrong, not knowing how to have ffmpeg do this conversion.  When you find
out, let the list know.  :-)
