When I am playing videos on YouTube, almost all the time the video gets stuck a certain scene, while the audio continues playing. Then after a few seconds the video also starts playing, but this happens again on the same video a few seconds later

Firefox users with Flash 11.3 and RealPlayer installed have reported that Flash videos or games on sites like Facebook or YouTube may appear, black, white or grey and never play. This can be fixed by updating to the latest version of RealPlayer. Table of Contents

   Solution 1: If you have RealPlayer installed - update it
   Solution 2: Downgrade Flash

You might also want to try running a scan for malware. I was having the same issue and couldn't figure out why, but once I ran the scan, I had a lot of malware and deleted it from my computer and ever since then my flash players have been running near to perfectly.

If you do not have a malware program here is a site that could be helpful. You can download a free version of MalwareBytes that is always good.

Hopefully this helps!
