I've had problems with long files on a low-memory player (Samsung YH-925), which affected the real machine but ... The file I've been experimenting with is an hour or so long (50Mb); I was also looking at two-or three- hour programmes. I haven't recently experimented to see if shorter times work better.

So I have set get_iplayer to emit raw files (.flv) then convert them with > [examples omitted = thanks] Thanks for these examples and the script. I will give these a try and report back. > As most of the proms recordings are well over the two hours mark (even through the concerts are shorter than this, with the first and second halves in separate programs), I wouldn't be surprised if large seek tables are the problem. This would explain why the emulator works - with lots of memory available in the host PC, I don't think malloc is restricted in the same way it is on the actual player target. That was really where I was coming from - how accurate is the emaulator in this regard? It might be useful to have it more closely mimic the memory available for given targets. I'll give an update when I've tested a bit more.
