Try DVD Fab HD Decrypter. It took a while, but it did muscle through some slightly scratched I have.
Or you could also try having the discs resurfaced. My local "Mom & Pop" video rental store recently used their machine and saved my out-of-print 101 Dalmations DVD for only $2.50. It looks like new and plays perfectly. -

Bang! Darn! -
Brasso does work. so does toothpaste (the white kind [more abrasives], NOT gel). have used both with great success.
the "old" DVDDecrypter is very good, at times better the DVD Fab for recovering info from a scratched disc. example...tried ripping my scratched AVP with Fab this week and it stopped at 54.58% completion. tried DVDDecrypter and in 86 minutes had the files. then I shrunk w/Shrink, burned with Nero...perfect backup copy.
good luck. -
New software rarely helps. What you face is a hardware problem.
Cleaning a disc is often more damaging than helpful. Toothpaste, scrubbing, do-it-yourself cleaner devices ... these almost never work.
You need a drive that reads better. Most drives read poorly.
Another option is to manually make the drive read at a real-time speed. This often means slower than 1x (0.25 to 0.5x read speed). This is done by using settings in some software. Most of them only go down to 1x in the settings, but it'll read slower if it has to.
You can also rip a disc manually, extracting data file by file (or even sector by sector in an IFO read mode, doing one chapter at a time). A pain, but worth time if the data is that important.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

I've had success with Isopuzzle. It makes a portable data file so you combine data read from more than one drive.
