It's not so much the program as it's whether or not your drive can read through the scratches. Buy a scratch repair kit from your local video store and then try.
99% of all problems are between the computer and the chair.

It's more hardware than software dependent then, eh?
I bought my scratch repair kit from the local auto parts supplier: 3 grades of rubbing compound and chemical paint cleaner is the best system I've found so far. I also bought a generic plastic polishing kit, but I don't know if that's any better than the auto compound.

Actually the clear plastic repair kit would work quite well... As long as th scratch doesn't go through to the data on the shiny part...

I have seen these perspex polishing kits in car stores too.. they look to be just the job. I'm ok as I have buffing kit and some old military plexiglass polish stuff.. I think it's toothpaste without the mint !! ;)

Actually, regular ol' toothpaste is a great way to fix a scratch, I have done it before. Its not a permanent solution but it will hold for a while...

I don't joke about polishing scratches out of DVDs. I've spent too many hours doing it to think it's funny. I sometimes deal with very badly scratched disks. It looks like I forgot to mention I wax my disks after compounding with Preen Floor Wax. I consider myself somewhat of an expert at it, but I've grown tired of it. It's not worth the time.
I wish I had a DVD burner that would read bad disks better.
