Hi James:  You kindly sent me that script at the time.  I had to hack it 
because I didn't have your directory structure, but when I got it 
working the results had serious A/V sync problems.

I noticed that it used the 'demux' mode of concat in ffmpeg, rather than 
the 'protocol' version, and I have tweaked one of my scripts the do the 
same.  I'm still experimenting and am now reasonably happy - but I'm 
still not sure why I got the A/V sync problem and you presumably don't.
