Flickering screen makes CD-R unplayable

[DCDayDreamer]

commercial games play just fine. the cable is the standard one included in DC package.

I've used both DIscjuggler and Alcohol 120% in various modes.

I was burning NesterDC. Works but flickers.

Strange!, I've never heard of this problem with NesterDC before, is it the menu that flickers?, or the roms when playing? (both?).

Are you totally sure that your TV can do 60Hz? It certainly doesn't sound like it, and there is no way that a messed up burn could possibly cause this kind of problem. Try getting the 50Hz version of NesterDC, and (maybe) try burning DreamSNES too (which runs in 50Hz by default on PAL DCs).

It turns out that everything works on one of the other TVs in my house. This puzzles me as i know full well that my normal TV is 60Hz -- i bought it to play Windwaker, which demanded 60hz!

Either way, thank you very much for your support, guys. I'm enlightened!

does it had a scart connection at the back, if not then its mostly likely (99.9%) 50hz only

Windwaker is a 50Hz only game, the bonus disc that comes with it is 60Hz. Really sounds like your TV is 50Hz only, sometimes getting a RGB Scart cable sorts this type of problem out, but if like DS69 said your TV doesnt have a scart socket then its 50Hz only.
