1. The various video packages are all just different versions of the same movies. They have different scaling and color/darkness qualities, but they are all almost all the same content. Which FMV package did you install in bootleg? I'm interested in the slow codec performance on them and I think my first suggestion would be to change the movie path in bootloader config to the movies folder in Final Fantasy VII/data/movies. Starting with the actual opening movie, those are some of the best examples of these old FMVs in existence. It's one of the few things SE really did to the rerelease at all.
2. The backgrounds? From the FAQ:
➣ I installed FF7 Game Converter from STEP 0, and the FacePalmer field textures don't appear to be working.
Download Omzy's FF7 Field Textures.
Extract the "field" folder into the ...\mods\Bootleg folder.
Edit "Run FFVII-Bootleg.bat" and remove all /AFFINITY F. Save before closing.
EDIT>Whoops, this is only for XP i guess... made no sense to me either way lol, changed in FAQ
3. Don't really understand this issue, none of the names of the characters have been changed at all? The items? What do you mean it fails on various modes? Are you trying to reinstall bootleg on top of itself with different modes? The retranslation itself is a preview and only goes til so far in the game, the name changes and item changes should be permanent tho, unless you reinstall Menu Overhaul (which can be done multiple times after bootleg without uninstalling it) and uncheck the retranslation completely.
4. Known issue, very irritating I know, should be fixed soon (yay)
5. Out of scope. Test with another pair of earphones or another motherboard 
1. I don't actually remember off the top of my head now (silly, I know) but I remember a mod that utilized movies from the tech demo and Crisis Core for the opening etc etc and had wanted to apply this. I did not try to install the bootleg on top of the bootleg, I know that's bad.
2. Oh well I did forget to try it but yeah I'm on 7.
3. Nothing changes. Basically when I say "fails in various modes", I installed the multiple mods option for different difficulty settings, remastered, etc. In the command prompt during the bootleg install, it showed up with the retranslation failing in normal and hardcore modes for the game.
4. Well that is good to know!
5. Well I've actually had the problem on another pair of headphones. And...yeah...I am not buying another motherboard for FFVII lol. Is there no known fix for this?
@steamwolf
That's a whole mountain full of problems

What Catalyst do you use?
How much memory does your graphics card?
Catalyst version 11.6. I just noticed there is an update available. Do you think I should update to 13.4?
Memory on the graphics card should be 1gb as I recall.
I'm scared to suggest new drivers on a 5700, since I did that with a 5800 last night and the guy said no dice...
My opinion: At least it's running, dude. You win. About the Menu Overhaul thing: What I forgot to highlight is that you need to fix your mods folder. In the Final Fantasy VII\mods\ directory will be 2 folders: Bootleg and DK. Two steps now--
1. Copy and paste/overwrite everything from DK to Bootleg
2. In bootloader change the modpath to Bootleg
Anytime you reinstall Menu Overhaul on a bootleg build you'll have to do that.
Well I've had it running before and a qhimm user actually ended up having to remote into my system and fixing it. There was a major compatibility issue but once he fixed it up everything was fine. Yes, I deleted everything (probably a bad idea). But I just would like to think I can get this working better like it was before lol. And yeah I did the copy from DK to Bootleg thing didn't help.
