I haven't tried the toothpaste remedy myself, I just read about it in one of the papers recently. I think you are supposed to use plain old Colgate toothpaste, not gel. I think you are supposed to spread it gently on the dvd and let it dry. After it has dried, take a soft cloth and rub off the toothpaste in the direction of the grooves. Hope it helps.

Toothpaste is actually a mild abrasive, not sure if you really want to try that. You can get a DVD cleaning kit that uses a liquid - may be more in order and do less damage tot the DVD. Once you get it to play you should make a copy of it. If it is a commercial DVD, making a copy is illegal - welcome to catch22.

Crazy, but try peanut butter or toothpaste. That actually works sometimes. Other than that..it's pretty much doomed.
