Take a q-tip and some rubbing alchohol and but the alchohol on the q-tip. Take the q-tip and wipe off the whole cd then wipe it off again with somthing really soft, like a cotton shirt. But make sure you don't use somthing that will make more scratches. Another think iv'e heard that works is taking some oil out of your hair and putting that on the scratch...and let it dry of course it you do the q-tip cleaning...

I usually take the DVD and completely rinse it off with water and soap and then let it dry on it's own. However since you already pretty much did that, I believe in Walmart/Target/Staples they sell little disc repair kits, that usually help. I think it comes like with a fluid thingie and a cleaner thing that makes it spin around while its cleaning it. They're pretty inexpensive. To protect your discs from future scratches, try those DSKIN things, they come like 5 in a little container and they protect the back and sides of the disk. Hope I've Helped! ♥

The do make a product that fill's in the crack's for you. I myself (playstation fanatic) have used car wax, and even crayon to fix cd's. I don't know how well it will work on dvd but it doesn't change cd picture any. You need to wipe it off smooth or spin it in a cheap walmart cd cleaner to get off excess wax. :)

toothpaste REALLY fills cracks completely and plays perfectly.

There is a tool you can buy remove scratches from your CD's and DVD's. It's called the scratch doctor. If you go to any electronics store that sells CD's and DVD's or a CD store, they'll have it there. Basically what it does is it buffs away the scratch that's causing the skipping. They run about 15-20 dollars but it's worth every penny. Hope this helped.
