I seriously doubt it.  As a comparison, I have a K6-III 500 with a
Matrox G550, I can watch a 240x128 SVQ3+MP3 MOV file (shrek2 trailer)
without framedrop with -vo x11 -zoom -fs, but the 352x192 version goes
badly out of sync already.  The video has to be scaled up to
1280x1024, which is my TFT's resolution.  I suppose you will want to
watch higher resolution videos in fullscreen mode.  Without xv or
vidix your system will most probably be underpowered.

Most probably it is.
