Well I loaded the actual one, it is from august 1999,
even the may 1999 version has VBR support.
I would bet that his engine is based on tompeg from Xing.
Once there were the tompeg sources floating around,
I could kick my ass that I did not grab them as they were available.
This scmpx isn't that bad, it supports MPEG1 in all three layers.
There are more features, ie. you can play and encode at the same time.
