I'm not a PS3 user, but one possibility is that the PS3 doesn't 
determine the audio parameters correctly (or ffmpeg doesn't set them up 
correctly when re-muxing). You could try an audio-only transcode, which 
should be a fair bit quicker than a full transcode:

ffmpeg -i infile.mp4 -strict experimental -vcodec copy -acodec aac -y 
outfile.mp4

You'll lose the embedded artwork, though.  If you use --raw with 
get_iplayer, you can process the .FLV file directly. No tagging in that 
case.
