Back again!
Tonight there was an interruption in one of the downloads so the rescue function
kicked in and downloaded the final part separately, then pasted them together
into the final mp4 output. The paste used the simple copy function so as not to
re-encode at this point.

And this time the final video has the 60 s gap but the transition between the
two parts is seamless with no audible problem! :)

So it works fine!

THANKS AGAIN Rob!!
