Hi,
I know this is a little late for a reply...nonetheless,
I doubt that that size (resolution or required disc space) of the file is an issue as long as you have a relatively decent machine to run the sketch on.
I've been using Processing 2.0b8 to run 1920x1080 video's, about 8 or so of them in a single sketch each about 200MB or greater, and have not encountered the same issue.
I have found AVI with MPEG-4(divX) codec and PCM for the audio codec to have best results for my purposes, I've also tried AVI with H.264 codec and MP3 for the audio codec and have not noticed any problems with HD video playback although MP3 (worked on Linux, it was not as effective on Windows 8). It might also be worth noting that the system I have run the sketches on is a hex core AMD with about 8GB of RAM .
