Some of the software out there that rips DVD's will try to fix errors while
ripping. A freeware example is DVD Decryptor (not sure if it's still
available). After ripping, you can try to burn it again on a dual layer DVD
with your favorite burning software, or a single layer with a program like
DVD Shrink. I used this method on a DVD that always skipped at the same
point. The software fixed the problem.
