Hey, all.
I was just watching a DVD, and suddenly toward the end, it just bailed. VLC would just close itself when it got to a certain chapter, and I tried a few times. Totem said "cannot read from source" at the same spot. (Really irritating just as the movie gets to its climax, and I don't want to skip ahead around the scratch.)
What I'm wondering if there's any software solutions for this. I borrow a lot of movies from the library (as I did with this one), so (1) it's not unheard of to encounter scratched discs, (2) I don't want to do any sketchy toothpaste/peanut butter polishing on a disc I don't own, and (3) these discs usually work fine in a regularly standalone DVD player.
Is there any DVD playing software that's more forgiving or corrective of imperfections? In the past, I've ripped the DVD and played the rip, but when I'm short on time and diskspace, I'd prefer just to watch it!
