Remuxing get_iplayer downloads to play on my TV

My mistake, Jon. I was not paying attention

I was wrong. My TV _can_ play this file, but I had not given the file an avi 
extension (duh!)

This also plays fine, providing I give the file an .avi or .mov extension

Looking at the grid again (

that if the program pays any attention to the file extension then the MPEG-4 
variants that it can play are going to be AVI or MOV. Sorry for being a bit 
dense.
