It is possibly to do with the video download speed being slower than the video playback in real time. What speed broadband do you have? It may also be to do with how busy it is when you are trying.
I found that when it did this, if I let the video run through once with the pauses then restart it from the beginning it plays through OK.

you could try clicking the "play/pause" button so it can buffer a bit more before you start watching it.
