You can play video at 480p or lower at native resolutions when the View

you want to play the video in high-definition Flash or in full screen mode, the
desktop requires a dual virtual CPU.
You can play video at 720p at native resolutions if the View desktop has a dual
virtual CPU. Performance might be affected if you play videos at 720p in high
