I do have a 320 MB .ts file but I have no idea what to do with it now. I could investigate other converters but given that ffmpeg says "invalid data" I suspect others will fail too. Plus for example VLC won't play it (well it will play it in the sense that its time thingy starts counting up, but it produces no video or audio output).

OK – found the issue. Not what I was expecting. The resulting .ts files from ABC iView have 0d (\r) or return characters inserted periodically. This is occurring because files are not being explicitly opened as binary (“wb”) only “w”. I suspect on certain platforms this may not cause a problem, but on Windows it results in \r’s being inserted. So if you update it to be “wb” in the various spots in common.py, it should work.

Awesome, thanks! I've pushed a fix.
