To the first question, I use all different brand DVD's when I burn. I don't opt to compress them in that way. I just let it select it automatically to fit onto disc, and even then if it doesn't fit, I don't back it up onto disc. As for a log file, I'll have to do it again, but the log files don't contain any errors at all. I just haven't burnt anything in a few days till I get a good idea as to why it happens this way. I do appreciate your help so later tonight or tomorrow, I'll pick a film I know has many flashing images, such as the club scene in the beginning of XXX (which always skips and freezes up on the back up copy) and show you the log file. Also, it doesn't seem to happen on the pc when I play it back, but it happens in any dvd player or playstation (worse, much worse, on playstation as it won't even play longer than a couple seconds at a time and freezes for up to a whole minute before advancing to the next scene and freezing up straight away). See, the one's I created an ISO for and burnt straight to disc using Nero, I didn't have any problems at all doing it that way, not on pc, dvd player or playstation, but I can't opt to do it that way with other files I download and burn using DVD Flick. Once again, thank you for all your help.
