I am saving same images to an usb stick in jpg format on a uSB Stick formatted as fat32. them I take it to my computer to that I can play it as a slideshow.
It works but I am also getting a duplicate set of files with an "Dot.underscore" filename.
I play the slideshow on my TV but those files show as an error.
What can I do so that it sonly show the files I want to save.?

Those are metadata files that are created because FAT32 can't handle combined files with metadata.
You can use the dot_clean utility in Terminal to strip out the metadata.
Copy/Paste the following command, leaving a space after it, don't hit return, yet.
dot_clean -m
then, drag your USB stick to the Terminal window and hit return.
That will strip off the ._ files.
