I can convert it to mp4 much more efficiently from another machine. If get_iplayer does it, it takes up to 45 minutes to convert a 1h program (there are reasons, including the network connection, the ancientness of the laptop, etc.)
get_iplayer never transcodes video - it only copies the streams from one file to another with ffmpeg. You have the worst laptop ever if it takes that long to write afile that's going to be typically < 1 Gb :}
Are you re-muxing from/to an external disk? That can be *very* slow indeed. If so, it might be better to download/re-mux on your local disk and dispatch the finished file to an external disk. You can use --command to do this (or set it in your options file).
