In principle it can do a reasonable job of displaying video but based on

getting it working is a bit of a run-around these days and the audio
performance is poor. It might be OK as a 'digital picture frame' but
probably not for anything you're going to actively watch.

Bah, just convert the videos to SD resolution for it using ffmpeg.
That's what I've been doing with the hacked Playstation 2 I've used
for videos since before RPis, and checking the specs for that:

CPU: Emotion Engine @ ~300?MHz
Memory: 32?MB?RAM, 4?MB?Video?RAM
