*Urgent Help needed!* Can't RIP from amateur DVD

[toise]

I've borrowed a DVD from a someone who made it themselves but there's a little problem.

It will play OK on a standalone DVD player & on my friends PC (Windows 9 but it will only play about 15 secs on mine before it says it may be damaged.

There are no scatches on the DVD at all & it does play fine on other DVD players.

I need to Rip it more than anything but I've tried SmartRipper & Cladmdec but they both get so far before reporting it can't read from a certain sector.

Also I've tried simply coping a VOB file but it trys for about 3 mins before it says it's no longer able to read from the drive!

Can anyone help?

I have Windows Me & never had Rip problems before but this is my first amateur DVD

amator dvd's do not need to be ripped as they are not encrypted.

OK so why won't it copy str8 onto my Hard drive? when I cut & paste it says the drive has stopped responding after about 3 minutes.
