    Here's a few free choices to do the copying.

    http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/col...54,pg,1,00.asp

    Remember that there are licensing/legality issues if the DVD's are copyrighted material.

    There are companies that repair damaged disks. That costs some money. There are also some devices such as this one..

    http://www.drfixit.net

    ..that claim to be able to fix them as well but I've never used one. Perhaps someone else here has.

    You could try DVDXCOPY PLATINUM which includes DVD X Rescue that is made for damaged dvd copying. I have not used the Rescue program myself but I use DVDXCOPY with invariably excellent results.

    I concur. The DVD XCOPY family of products is the end-all, be-all of this genre. Works really well, simply nothing better.

    Various Windows and Linux platforms...
