Because the video and audio streams are seperate and synced during play back. Because the audio stream is a loaded faster than the video stream (it's usually a much smaller size to upload) and there is a buffer upload to ensure smooth playback then the buffer for the audio is larger than the buffer for the video. As a result the video may freeze during playback because the video stream has "paused" while the audio continues on, playing from the buffer.
