Seek software to view and/or rip cranky home burned dvds

[lapillus]

A coworker has a homeburned dvd which is skipping short (a few second) sections initally but eventually is entirely unreadable. I was wondering if anyone knew of any software that might at least do better than your average player playing it. Ripping it to a drive and playing from that is also a doable solution if you know of something that is better at error correction than your average ripper or player. Either PC or Mac software suggestions are welcome (it's a biplatform department).

Thanks!

MacTheRipper rips great, and MPEG Streamclip will play pretty much anything. You might also have success with Handbrake.
