GStreamer would find out if there's any conversion needed (of the
elements are implemented properly). Maybe you should give a try to
gst-omapfb which renders directly into the framebuffer into a YUV
overlay.

Unfortunately the OMAP3 display subsystem doesn't support I420 so you
would need some conversion for sw codecs. Or you can try to use the
DSP accelerated codecs which have an accelerated converter.

I know FFmpeg guys have been able to decode 720p videos smoothly on
the beagleboard so it's definitely possible. You just need to plug the
right pieces :)
