Hello, I downloaded
Athletics_-_World_Championships_2013_Day_1_Part_4_b0398f5h_default.
The modes for the program are:
flashhigh1=2536MB,flashhigh2=2536MB,flashstd1=1529MB,flashstd2=1529MB,flashvhigh1=4779MB,flashvhigh2=4779MB,rtsphigh1=2536MB,rtsphigh2=2536MB,rtspstd1=1529MB,rtspstd2=1529MB,rtspvhigh1=4779MB,rtspvhigh2=4779MB.
I use 'get_iplayer --nopurge -g --modes=best' to download, expecting to
get a 4.7GB file. But actually I only get a 2.5GB file.
When this happens you should also check the "duration" field. The mode
sizes are approximated from the bit rate and duration contained in the
programme metadata provided by the BBC. If one or both of those values
is wildly off, the calculated mode sizes will of course also be wildly
off. In this case, the programme duration is wrong for parts 3 and 4 of
the athletics coverage. You can check the duration by dividing length
(# of samples) by timescale (samples/second) in the metadata reported by
rtmpdump.
