No, I get a completely different effect (having just tried it). All the
ved output goes to the bottom line of the screen, nowhere else. Normally
I use xved in my KDE environment, so I'm not hot on consoles.

Incidentally my console session had $TERM=linux, I don't know if that
makes any difference.
