If it's not a DVD+RW or DVD-RW, You can't re-use it.  If you have a DVD recorder, check out the owners manual.  For the computer, use Nero, Roxio Easy DVD, or any kind of burning software.

clean it maybe with rubbing alcohol. and if it doesnt work. then the dvds too damaged or scratched to play.

you don't.. your DVD writing software takes care of that, and in most cases will insist that it is blank\nDVD/RW's will be erased prior to writing by the DVD burning software

try 1 click dvd copy.its easy and works great also do not have any backround programs running.this includes screensavers.etc.disable everything while burning.having programs running will interfere with the burning of your dvd

Using special disc-burning software. Check some good burners at download.com.\nAlso special Nero utility allows you to create special DVD-disc which you may use like usual diskette or hard-drive (paste/copy/delete at once).

try magic dvd ripper, it will convert dvd to mpeg or mpg or avi saving space, but not free unless you can download it with the password crack (try using limewire or morpheus for it)

You could burn it into your computer and burn it out. Or if you have a dvr you could burn directly from dvd to blank cd on you computer, asuming you have Nero.

It depends on what kind of file(s) you recorded onto the DVD.  Go to Office Max or Compuware, they'll help you out.

There isn't any software that you can use as it is a physical problem.  Go to your local DVD/CD store - they will sell you plenty of products to  revive disks.\n\nAlso, if you GOOGLE for "repair scratched DVD" you will get plenty 'home' remedies for this.\n\nHave fun

If you want to wipe the disc to re-use it, go to my computer, and right click on your DVD drive, and click erase disc.

copy it to another DVD (or to image file, or you can just watch it) with DVD shrink, it will remove all sorts of copy protection like RCE (the region specific copy-protection you are talking about), CSS (content scrambling system or something like that) and any other sort that's around.
