I got a DVD, never used with cellophane intact, produced in 1993 on ebay. I thought maybe, since I didn't get a DRM warning, it predated DRM, and I could just copy it to my hard drive, so I did. Both the copy and the DVD are now corrupted and unplayable. I want to fix the DVD then rip it to my hard drive. Googling gives plenty of suggestions for ripping but none for fixing. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Windows? Yeah, I'm talking out of my ass here, but probably only unplayable because Windows helpfully created some kinda corrupted data file related to the disc.

What he said is factual; you didn't make the disc itself unreadable. Which is why I blame Windows doing something stupid and not helpful.

I don't have any background knowledge to confirm this, but this seems like the extremely likely answer. Unfortunately.
