So it is possible that either the files you fetched were sufficiently
'broken' and/or the version of ffmpeg/avcon you were using simply didn't
sort this out immediately after fetching. Another pass though a newer
ffmpeg might fix it, though.

If not, as audio, you can finally bail out and convert to lpcm wav.The
standard wave format just has a header followed by the lpcm sample values.
If that sounds OK, it can be re-encoded if you wish to save space. Although
I would recommend a loss-free method like flac to avoid needless reduction
in quality if you get to this stage.

Hi Jim,
Many thanks. I am going to try Vangelis's suggestions first since he has spent hours patiently helping me and see how I get on. If all else fails I shall do your bail out and yes; go to flac. Not sure what I will lose in fidelity through this process but hope it will be OK. Since age has tarnished my "golden ears" which I never claimed to have anyhow, we should be OK. Hopefully will post progress in due course.
Budge.
