Sorry for the double post, sent it by accident.

I tried both these methods, and got stuck.

With the first one it went ok until the
ffmpeg -i filename.partial.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy filename.mp4
command, which resulted in:

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\FFmpeg\ffmpeg-0.8-win32-static\bin>ffmpeg -i My Brother Is an Only Child - - b0160176 default.par
tial.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy My Brother Is an Only Child - - b0160176 default.mp4

With the second method I had a txt file called 'flv2mp4.bat', which when
double-clicked opened as a text file, not a CMD file.

I tried using the command from the second method
( -i filename.partial.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mp4 -y filename.mp4)
in the first cmd window, but same result.

Thanks for the help so far!
