Sorry I haven't caught up with this thread earlier, it's been a busy
time of year. :-)
It's very odd that your PS3 is resetting when trying to play a video
file, I've not had problems like that. Just the "normal" no audio, too
fast video problem. Hope there's not a problem with your PS3 itself.
I have downloaded b018xsm2 (I've Never Seen Star Wars) today and it
was encoded with the version of ffmpeg I posted a link to earlier.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7678269/Ffmpeg_getiplayer.zip
SVN-r22140-Sherypya built 02 March 2010.
The resulting file plays absolutely fine on my PS3 (Slimline model with
latest firmware from Sony).
The command line that get_iplayer used to convert the flv to .mp4 was:
E:\gip\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -i
E:\gip\Downloads/Ive_Never_Seen_Star_Wars_-_27_12_2011_b018xsm2_default.partial.mp4.flv
-vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mp4 -y
E:\gip\Downloads/Ive_Never_Seen_Star_Wars_-_27_12_2011_b018xsm2_default.partial.mp4
Maybe you could try downloading this file with get_iplayer and seeing if
it plays on your PS3? Perhaps copy the file to a USB stick if you have
one and plug it in the PS3 and try to play it from there which will
eliminate the media streaming from the equation.
I actually gave up using my PS3 as my media player (it was too noisy, a
bit unreliable and I wanted to play HD mkv files without converting
them) and I instead bought a eMachine ER1401 which I picked up for £110
from eBuyer.com. CPC had these on offer for a similar price recently
but they're now out of stock again.

I tried an older version of ffmpeg on my windows 7 setup and all this did
was to reset my ps3 (older 40gb model, also known as the fat shiny top
model) to a shutdown state with the red power light flashing. This happened
as soon as the video was started with the ps3 controller X button. The video
was running from my zyxel 310 nas. The funny thing is that the same video
works just fine on my Ipad??

I have been reading up on this problem which is the video files play
at double speed with no audio and the solution seems to be to use an
older version of ffmpeg.
For the record, I'm also getting this on my PS3 at the moment, using ffmpeg
0.7.7 on Linux.
I'm pretty sure that Shevek has documented this in the past, but I must have
accidentally slipped into upgrading to a buggy version.
I never normally use my PS3 for watching iPlayer downloads now, so I have no
idea how many videos on my NAS are affected. I'll try to test a newer
version of ffmpeg the next few days.
