hey,
the ffmpegX components self-installer keeps giving me this message:
WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.
I've tried everything the site tells me to, and still no luck. also, when trying to download the link mpeg2enc directly from the link by using the ctrl click, i do not have the option on the menu that pops up. the mencoder and mplayer didnt give me any problems though. any ideas?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Does your admin account have a password? It should; the installer will use the "sudo" command in the background, which needs a non-blank password.
Does your password have special characters in it? The installer doesn't like that either. If so, try changing the password (in System Preferences > System > Accounts) to something 'simple', with only letters and/or numbers.
As for downloading mpeg2enc: control-clicking a link should give you a contextual menu with an option to download whatever is behind that link. 'Download Linked File' in Safari, or 'Save Link As' in Firefox.
