- WARNING: Why is MCS using svn to contact svn.ffmpeg.org on TCP port 3690 behind my back?

During the installation of MCS, and before it finishes, the installer attempts to contact svn.ffmpeg.org on TCP port 3690. If you deny it, the install will fail out.
This is an odd and wholly unexpected--not to mention scary--sequence of events, and raises suspicions because both TCP and UDP ports 3690 are known paths that can be hijacked by IRC based Trojans.
In this scary age of malware, such behavior--even if not malevolent--shouldn't surprise a user, much less do it behind their back without warning.
Because of this non-disclosure, I cannot recommend, and will not install MCS Utilities until the developer discloses why this is happening.
