Memory capacity doesn't magically double video encoding performance.
If you don't need transcoding or plan to disable transcoding entirely, then it's no problem.
The RPi 5 removes the H.264 hardware encoder and decoder, which will make common 4k and 1080p transcoding tasks to easily tax it's quad-core Cortex-A76 CPU.
If you need smaller video sizes (down-scaling), subtitle burn-in, and HDR-to-SDR tone-mapping, it won't do the job or can't keep up with real-time playback.
Please turn to x86 - Intel N100 boxes or 7th Gen and newer SFF PC, which can provide far better performance and perf-per-watt than RPi 5 in terms of video transcoding.
