I've just processed the recording, using ffmpeg with my usual script - 
although I do still have it and can check if you like.  With the plain 
frontend it hung for a long time, but then put up that box. It plays 
without obvious problems with the FFMPEG switch.  I don't have VDPAU 
capable hardware.  Using nVidia 304.88. GL enabled, Paint Engine set to 
Auto, Normal Playback profile.

The Channel, FWIW, morphs into BBC THREE with no audio.
