“The video is stored on the 2GB SD card plugged into the bottom
of the board. It’s running at 1080p and uses H.264 video
compression. Most importantly, it is running at full speed with
audio playing even though we can’t hear it on the video due to a
lack of speakers.

“Raspberry Pi is also keen to point out that when the video you
see below was recorded the board had been playing back the movie
for 8 hours. So not only can the $25 PC handle 1080p video, it does
so without any heat issues.”
