  2. (1) Try it with DVDX Rescure (Expensive way)

    (2) Repair the DVD with local video shop (Cheap way).

    (3) Get a new DVD (Still cheaper than DVDXRescure)

    Best way -

    Buy your own disc scratch repair machine and use that whenever you have difficulty ripping anything. Unless the scratch is so deep that you can see light through the scratched area (which means the actual data layer is destroyed and the disc is worthless), it can be saved. A disc repair kit will save you big amounts in the long run.

    Give the disks a real good clean with some soap and water with a soft cloth to dry. If that shows up loads of scratches etc then you can either buy one of them machines to hopefully clean the disk or take the cheaper route... Toothpaste and oven cleaner can work as can brasso, if you do a forum search you will find a good thread on this subject somewhere.
    Remember to only polish in straight lines from center to edge or edge to center NEVER round the disk......
    Not bothered by small problems...
