iPlayer downloader and Apple TV

I've been using ipdl for some time now to download, permanently, BBC iPlayer content. Recently, however, content downloaded and moved into my iTunes movies will not play on my Apple TV. The files are mpeg-4. It's bizarre - I've tested other mpeg-4 iPlayer content in the same environment and all are working perfectly. Has anyone got any thoughts or shared experiences? Thanks,

Apple TV, iPhone OS 3.1.2

I had this problem also, I used to rename the files to *.mov but even this seems to have stopped working. However, I tried renaming to *.m4v and this did work, give that a go.

What you are doing breaks the terms of use for the BBC iplayer, discussion about such matters here may violate the ToU's of this forum.
