    Hi all,
    Could anyone please recommend software to recover a DVD movie on a disc that might be faulty or something.
    I have tried DVD Rescue and Alcohol, and a couple of others as well, but no luck im afraid.

    Thank you, Bobby.

    For freeware, you could always try Decrypter.

    Thanks for your help chaps, i did try both of those programs, but could not recover the film. Might just give up this one.

    Regards, Bobby.

    Sorry to hear that, but did the programs read the dvd at all?

    No, i could not open the disc and it would sometimes freeze everything until i ejected it. Bobby.

    If the disc is not damaged or scratched, then the problem is probably caused by weakening of the dye. You may try clean the disc with a piece of soft cloth (and cleaning solution if you have it) and try again. Sometimes rubbing the inner rim in a circular manner a couple of times before inserting it into the player would also help.

    Good luck!
