you may also find the the "command" option in get_iplayer useful - it
runs a command (or script) at the end of a download, and you can pass

This I will definitely look into! It would be nice to have anything I
download converted right away. This can work from the web interface, right?

erm, er ... "from" I'm really not sure (I'm not a user of the web
interface); "with" I don't see why not.

The web interface doesn't provide a way to enter the "command" option. You could put it your options file, but then it will be applied to *every* download regardless of programme type. The web interface itself doesn't provide any means to override it for a particular programme. Unless you want to transcode every download without exception, your "command" option would need to reference some sort of script that determines which files should be transcoded based on, e.g., programme type, file extension, etc., before running ffmpeg. If you only transcode files occasionally, it might be simpler to just set up a profile in WinFF or Super-C and use one of those applications to process your files.
