I assume your are watching them online...

Your internet connection isn't fast enough to download the video as fast as you are playing it.

There is 2 solutions:

1. Pause the video in the start so that the video can download first (a.k.a. buffer), then you should be able to watch it smoothly.

2. Get a faster internet connection.
