    just downloaded a flick that is about 1GB in size.
    It wont play without becoming pixelated at certain points. the video is just so choppy.

    most likely the video is too big for my PC available memory.

    will deleting files and creating more free space on my drive help ?

    try vlc but if that doesn't work it might be the file is ed due to ty encoding or it might be your computer like you've already stated. make sure you have the proper codecs.

    Probably not. Those kinds of problems usually spring up when your video card and, to a lesser extent, your CPU or amount of RAM aren't up to the task. As long as you have at least 10% of each hard drive free, that won't be the cause of your problem.

    Do you know what hardware you have?

    might be because it's high definition format and your computer can't handle it

    If you go to www.cccp-project.net, you can install pretty much every codec in use as well as two media players that might play the file better -- all at once.

    How long is the video and at what resolution?

    1 Gb at 480i I think only holds about 30 minutes of quality video under good compression. At an hour, you will notice desegregation from being compressed tighter. Longer, and it is ty because of excessive compression.
