The PS2 had a hardware MPEG decoder and could also play DVDs so I don't think it had much trouble doing FMV.

Yeah, is like most of HN should be kids, because, FFS, it's a PS2, not a Nintendo from the 80's.

They are so used to badly implemented software in Electron requiring humoungous CPU and RAM requeriments that basic performing tools it's mind blowing to them.

Heck, any Pentium2 on par of a PS2's CPU or better could play DivX videos under MPlayer under Linux/NetBSD with ease. 420p, ok, but video.
