Hi slnixon
Are you trying to extract the data from the disc or are you trying to repair scratches.
The solutions are different

hey Slnixon- I dont think this truly falls under the heading of repairs but those Radial cd cleaners gadjets work great for cleaning dvd's too ! found out by cleaning a rented copy of DAREDEVIL-would stop start freeze up in my apex1010W dvd - figured was just my cheap player or the rented movie was really banged up ! decided to try my cleaner gadget and it did the trick. nine was made by Scotch/3m brand but any of the similar type units should work . You get the cleaner device and a little spritz/spray bottle of cleaning liquid- isopropyl alcohol - probably 91-99% not the cheap rubbing kind that has additives like lanolin & water in it . if your littlte spritzer runs empty you can get 91% @ sams for $2.36 or so for 2 32.oz. bottles that should lasst you for years. or you could find it at your drugstore of choice. The cleaners are available everywhere walmart any decent size record/cd store ect. I paid abou $12.00 for mine but have seen similar units for as low as $5.00 like I said it's not really a repair per se but you may want to consider it for part of your repair kit as preventative medicine! hope I helped - I seek not to know all the answers but merely to understand the question?( KUNG FU)- bigtoxy 69 -peace

an alternative to BIGTOXY69 would be to take the offending disc to your local video library .Mine has a special disc cleaning device which costs about $5000. I'm sure for a marginal price they will clean your discs for you

thanx ! I don't think my local video rental joint has that machine yet but that's a good idea anyway - Like you I was just offering a helpful I hope anyway suggestion! Whether I'm a renting or buying I always check the read side of the media rental disc have a short and rough life ! and dvd movies when you buy them often are rattling around loose inside the case/polybox so they possibly could be brand new and scratched before you open if it rattles don't buy it- thanx for tour reply my friend - peace- bigtoxy69
