i'm pretty sure it did.  off the top of my head, vic 2.x could
do hardware encoding/decoding with the sun parallax, sunvideo,
dec j300, and sgi cosmo boards.  much of the code is still in
mash but has rotted away having been neglected for several years.

the work is all in the low level objects so once it works in
rvc/rvic, it would be trivial to make it work in vic if it
didn't happen automatically...
