First thing I try is to see if OS X Disk Utility can make a disk image of the DVD. If yes, I just burn it to a new DVD and all is OK. In fact, if it’s something really precious, this is the first thing I do and just file the original.

I’ve only tried this with non-protected DVDs but it works almost every time. I am not sure why. Maybe the DVD drive in my computer is less sensitive to scratches than the one hooked up to my TV.

I suppose a protected DVD might need some ripping instead but I am not sure. I sure would try it though because all these remedies only buy time until it happens again. If you can get a disk image, you can burn a new copy any time you need it.

PS. the geeksaresexy.net girl make me weak in the knees.

I was desperate to fix my Fable cd and i looked at this.
I tried toothpaste first, but that worked nicely too ^^.
A banana, though? o_O
