data recovery - How can I copy files from a scratched CD/DVD?

I have so far tried the following software solutions without success.



  • Windows Explorer Copy (default)

  • TeraCopy

  • Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier


Unstoppable Copier stops copying as a whole, it keeps continuing the same file after 20 minutes, despite any settings. I have spent much time Googling, but the one program ("Unstoppable Copier") that people recommended, did not to the trick as it keeps choking on the same file despite a setting of "Fasteset Data Recovery", "Maximum Retries 0" and "Undamaged Files First".


The back side of the DVD has some scratches. What options do I have? I have access to both Ubuntu and Windows 7.
