Buffering occurs when you are watching faster than the video can download. So you need to make sure that you have a good connection, either wifi or 3G. Wifi is faster. As karebu said, turn off "HD" or "High Quality" to minimise the data you are trying to download.

If I think that buffering is going to be a problem, I run the video for a few seconds and then pause it. This often starts it downloading and I then leave it for a bit to download before I watch it. This gives it more chances to keep ahead of me.
