Basically, a nice idea. BUT:

What a graveyard of 74xx chips. Maybe just using a FPGA would have been a smarter solution?

RCA video jack? What year is it? Yes, it's a retro design, but it still has to interface with something in this world. And display devices that still use RCA video are not exactly common.

    Then you are four TVs ahead of me. Oldest I have to offer has a VGA.

    I might have a digitizer box somewhere with an RCA input and USB2 link producing mp4 or avi. But that probably will have delays that would make playing anything about impossible.
