user-1: I have a question regarding my insight meditation practice. When i practice and my mind becomes still then when memories pop up i see them in frames. When my mind is not stilled i see memories fluently, like in a movie.
Is it normal to see them in frame by frame when meditating? What does it mean that they are seen in frames. Is that because conditioned and compounded phenomena is build by component parts and thereby im seeing the impermance?
May all beings be happy, peaceful and free from mental and physical suffering.

user295: What happens is
Sense door > Sense contact > Metal image > Contact with metal image > Recognise > Evaluate > Sensation > Proliferation of metal form > Mental contact > ...
So there is a chance that at some stage you start seeing things in quantum.
NB: This is my personal opinion any sense contact is followed by metal contact as physical creates a metal impression also. 
As a final note. Don't get carried away by this as it will cause you to regress. Keep up your meditation.
Following is and alternative image from Formations by Piya Tan. This also shows that thoughts are cycling in nature hence why you might see things in quantums or frames.
