Games on DVD are a general problem as I expect them to contain intentionally "unreadable sectors" that can neither be distinct from unreadable sectors because of damage nor re-created while burning a new medium. The background is that there is too few information on the low level DVD format and in special as there are only secret vendor specific SCSI commands that would allow to deal with this kind of intentional damage. AFAIK, there was a tool from a German who did later leave Germany for legal reasons who made a software called "clonedvd" that could do the job for some drives on Win-DOS.
