Maybe it can be done simpler. cp -l source.mpg 
/wheretevideodfilesare/destiny.ts
You hereby create a hardlinked file in the video directory. Maybe the 
PS3 is just picky about the extension.
Else ffmpeg -i source.mpg -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mp4 destiny.mp4
You need a recent ffmpeg from SVN for this, older ones don't read the 
BBC-HD stream.
