[MacDV] Scratched DVD - tips?

[Don Hinkle]

yep, Radio Shack sells differently priced remedies, but I bought the 
cheapest--a bottle of creamy liquid and a small lint-free cloth (which 
can be washed after use): follow directions--rub it on, smear it around 
with special attention to scratches, use the cloth to clean it after 
drying...I fixed several rental DVDs this way that had been abused by 
kids.
