Hi, using iplayer for mac I have downloaded a programme. The programme is no longer available for download from the BBC and will expire in a few days.

I'd like to take a copy of the programme and watch it on another computer, a PC.

Checking the preferences in iplayer I can see the location of the saved files on my hard drive.

I was expecting a single mp4 but instead I have a total of 8 files. Below is their filenames:

b01b1z39
b01b1z39_1333393298.xml
b01b1z39_hi_266502724.mp4
b01b1z45_86_48.jpg
b01b1z45_832_468.jpg
bbc_four
data.dat
pl_b01b1z39

Attempting to launch the mp4 file results in this error: Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie (b01b1z39_hi_266502724.mp4)

Any idea how I can get a valid mp4 out of these files?

Thanks.
