Why does a computer run a game poorly, but is able to show a video of it perfectly fine

In the same way that you can hand in your homework to the teacher in 30 seconds but not finish the same question in an exam in 30 seconds.
Games are complicated. They have to constantly calculate where you are, where the enemy are, is anyone running into a wall and need to be stopped, is anyone hitting a bullet and need to take damage, is that patch of the sky still in view so the mountain need to be drawn on screen etc. A video is just exactly what you see. There is nothing behind the player, there is no calculation to see if that bullet hits (that doesn’t matter) etc.
