I'm pretty sure there is such a beast. One model exists that has a built-in LCD that will even play video files. I don't know if it has any output. Here's some links:

and:

As an alternative, you can consider seeing if any of the el-cheapo DVD players work (especially portables) they will play MP3 CDRs and have video out. Additionally they will play VCDs and DVDs. Portables also have the advantage of being easily hooked up to 12V.

As far as I know, it's the most widely known. I've never seen it personally, but the smaller unit they have seems to fit your needs just about perfectly. FYI: I've run MPEG1 and computer-based video files on a TV before, and the results are sorta... lacking. If you are running this on an in-car LCD you should do a lot better since the smaller screen will hide the artifacting from the low resolution video files.
