Need help on reinstalling ffmpegX after removing the program on my computer

[DDieggo1000]

Hi.

I'm having trouble reinstalling the ffmpegX program after I removed it a few days ago. Here are the steps which I took and the result of it. I have a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 with Mac OSX 10.5.7, a 74.4 GB HD, and 768 MB of RAM.

*Please note that I'm totally new with video and audio file formats and have no knowledge on coding. When I first installed ffmpegX on the same computer mentioned above, everything went well but not on my second install.


STEP 1: Deleting ffmpegX after 1st time install

I used Apple Cleaner to delete the program. Here are the results on what was removed:

The application "ffmpegX version 0.0.9y" and "all accompanying documents" (ReadMe.rtf, LisezMoi.rtf, Leggimi.rtf, Credits.rtf, ffmpegX manual.webloc) that came with the original ffmpegX.dmg which I downloaded from ffmpegX site. These items where in a folder called ffmpegX in my application folder.

The preference file "com.mac.homepage.major4.ffmpegX.plist"
This came from the ~/Library/Preferences.

A folder called ffmpegX that resided in /Library/Application Support/
The contents were these Unix executable files: mencoder, mpeg2enc, mplayer

I made sure I deleted the files in the trash bin and restarted the computer.


STEP 2: Reinstalled ffmpegX version 0.0.9y

I downloaded a new ffmpegX.dmg file from the ffmpegX site making sure it was version 0.0.9y
When the the disk image was decompressed, I copied its contents (ffmpegX application and accompanying documents) in a new folder called ffmpeg X in my applications folder.

I then went back to the site and read the manual on what else to download. It instructed me to download the binaries mencoder, mplayer, and mpeg2enc.intel (ctrl-clicked the link given) from the links provided. All was downloaded to my desktop.

STEP 3: Finish reinstallation

I doubled clicked on the ffmpegX app and the installer window came up asking me to locate the missing binaries that I downloaded. After indicating the location of these files (in my desktop) using the browse button, I used my login password and pressed install

After waiting for a few minutes a window opened up and gave this message:

The installation was not successful.
##connect to address "IP address 1": Operation timed out
Trying "IP address 2"...
connect to address "IP address 2": Connection refused
Trying "IP address 2"...
connect to address "IP address 1": Connection refused

The lines pertaining to connecting to the 2 addresses above repeated about five times on the same window and allways came with a "Connection refused" result. After that, the ending message on the window is as follows:

/Application/Video.hsd1.state.comcast.net: Operation timed out
tar(child):/Applications/ffmpegX/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/mux.tgz: Cannot open: (null)
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file /Applications/ffmpegX/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/gnutar: Child returned status 2
/Applications/ffmpegX/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/gnutar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


What do I do now?

[Case]

The installer should not have to connect to any IP address. Trying to connect to an earthlink.net IP (207.69.131.9) is very weird.

/Application/Video.hsd1.state.comcast.net is also unknown to me.

Puzzling...

Edit:
I can think of two things that can cause this.
1/ Another application is sending these connection messages. Is something running in the background?
2/ You downloaded a trojan-infected version. Unlikely (high profile commercial software would be more likely) and never reported (news would have spread), but possible. The file on the official site is the same as I used to install ffmpegX some time ago, with these hash checksums:
