I downloaded the latest get_iplayer script,
http://beebhack.wikia.com/wiki/Programs#Linux

I then used it to download a programme, ended up with a file called, e.g.
blahblahblah_b00793by_default.mov

I then re-encoded it to N800 playable format using my script, downloadable from http://www.zaurus.org.uk/download/sc...ecode-2pass.sh thus:

/bin/avi-recode-2pass.sh w-n800 blahblahblah_b00793by_default.mov
