Many thanks. No obvious way of finding the version. I inspected the get_iplayer.pl file it was 3.03. I found the problem. Yet again, during installation, perl.exe was locked and the installation of v3.04 had failed. Once that was unlocked, by using IObit Unlocker, the PVR/ffmpeg combination worked and converted the .ts file.
Perl.exe is locked again after installing v3.04. Why does perl.exe get locked? All I'm doing is running the installation .exe.

First indicate the version of GiP used; nothing in your post identifies that, my bet is you're still on previous version 3.03, so the rest of my answer is based on that assumption; if it's not true, then please disregard... 2. Both I and Alan recently posted in this list about the advent of bug-fix version GiP 3.04: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2017-October/011183.html List members are invited to read linked release notes even when not initially planning an immediate update... >> Fixed a serious bug introduced in v3.03 that could cause >> MP4 conversions to be skipped when using the PVR function. >> If you are using v3.03, you are strongly urged to upgrade to v3.04 >> immediately. For the record, the bug was identified after the following Forum thread: https://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/thread-1518-newpost.html Code commit that fixed it: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/bdf3c7eb990e49953aea34f43c e2f378307c959b So, if you're on GiP 3.03, the "simple way to resolve" your issue is to upgrade to 3.04 (!). I have commented about it in the past, but the current workflow in GiP development (issues tracker removed, "contribute" branch only updated publicly after a major stable release) might (and has several times) make the released version more prone to undetected bugs, which rear their ugly heads until after the "master" branch script is let loose... So that's why you should also look at https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/issues some time after a tag release...
