If they're just scratched up real bad it sounds more like a physical repair job than a software extraction (or a combo of the two). You might want to look into a GameDr (or DVDDr) whatever they're calling it now, about 20 or 30 bucks at BestBuy (they also sell a motorized one for about $15 more). We were getting a lot of dvds from NetFlix that were so scratched up they wouldn't play so we invested in one - been well pleased with it.
