cant get the source from cvs

Hello!

I have several problems with "Transcode". Every time i try to convert my 
.dv video file to a mpeg file it stops  with "Segmentation fault". (I 
installed v1.0.2 on Kubuntu 8.04 by using the repository.)

Now I tried to get the newest version from cvs to compile it and check 
out if the problem is still there, but I can't get access to the server:

---
(...)$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvstc co -r transcode_1_1 
transcode
cvs checkout: CVS password file /home/andi/.cvspass does not exist - 
creating a new file
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server cvs.exit1.org rejected access 
to /cvstc for user cvs
cvs checkout: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password
---

On
   http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?Download
I found: "Use an empty password to login." But it doesn't work!?

Can anybody help me?

Thank you in advance, greetings,
Andi.
