    Hi, I have an old dvd. its the movie The Apostle by robert Duvall (1997). I want to play it but the dvd player cant read it. I tried to play in my laptop. same result. but the dvd is in good condition and well preserved (no scratch, etc). I tried to clean it with warm water, etc. same result. do anybody know whats the case here, and how can i play/rip it? Thx u.

    hi :)
    i have found that on the rare times a disc won't play/rip. i've put it through convertxtodvd or dvdflick as if converting..then burning from the file on hdd...time consuming but worth the effort if you really feel the need to back it up.
