Thanks.  I have run 900 second and 3600 seconds.  Not a hint of any 
problem:-

AtomicParsley version: 0.9.6 (utf8)
------------------------------------------------------
Movie duration: 3600.022 seconds (01:0:0.02) - 226.56* kbp/sec bitrate 
(*=approximate)
Low-level details. Total tracks: 1
Trk  Type  Handler                    Kind  Lang  Bytes
1    soun  SoundHandler               mp4a  und   101953952
      226.56 kbp/s  MPEG-4 AAC Low Complexity/LC Profile    channels: [2]

But I do not understand the 226.56 kbp/s.  What happened to the 320k?

Anyhow can we conclude that ffmpeg is not at fault?
In which case is the problem with BBC or GiP?
Has anybody else noticed this I wonder?
Is this a subject for bug report yet?
Grateful for guidance please.

Finally, please could you help with ffmpeg command I should put in prefs 
to go straight to FLAC rather than m4a.
