MPEG2 hardware acceleration on mac was never an official API, it was
only available when using the now obsoleted Quartz video framework and
Carbon.
Now everything is using CoreVideo/Cocoa (since 10.5)

H264 hardware decoding was made official with the VDA Framework and
introduced in OS X 10.6.2 (and only for some specific nvidia GPU at
the time).
Now all machines released since 2009 are supported by VDA.
