My parents were on holiday and when the dvd came to the end and ready to finalise at the same time the battery died on them and now everytime this DVD is insert in the camcorder it come up with message

"cannot read disc. Check dirt/crack/bioth sides/contrary/inserted correctly"

They have tried other disc and they are fine and also the other disc that they used after finalised okay.
Is there a way of getting the data off this disc that will not read as it's footage they really do not want to lose???

I've recovered files from disks that were recorded on a standalone DVD recorder and were not finalized in the machine.

Download the free version of ISOBuster.

Insert the disk in the drive and run ISOBuster.
Choose the tracks that might be video and right click on one.
Elect 'Extract user data'.
The result is an iso file.

Note in my pic, there were two short recordings made.
Both are megabyte size, while the other files are KB (track three and six were the actual video files).

The resultant .iso file can be opened in VirtualDub (if you want to output AVI files) or AviDemux if you want to save them as .mpg.
