    What type of discs do you use to burn it with.

    For PS2 backups, you should use imgburn,Alchol or Nero to burn the ISO with.

    Burn it at 4x-6x speed

    Ok then use imgburn, make sure to set the BOOKTYPE for your DVD+R to DVD-ROM and burn it at 4x speed.

    See if that fixes it.

    Well thats strange.
    How did you back it up in the first place?
    Using the dvdfab or was it a downloaded game.

    How large is your ISO image of Transformer The Game

    Well usually one uses imgburn to backup PS2 games, and to burn them.

    I guess you had it working but it skips and freezes which is a sign of poor media or wrong burn speed.

    4x speed is fine though. 12x may have been too fast.

    You can try other media, or you can try backing it up again using imgburn, then burn it with imgburn at 4x speed.
