The original market where XFS and Irix were used was in the graphics and video industry so yes that should suffice. XFS is very good at dishing out larger files. Make sure you have decent hardware as well since that counts most for any fs. Mpeg2 is something like 18Mbits I believe? Make sure that your disk array can dish it out fast enough.
