I've saved many CDs by polishing firmly with a micorfiber cloth. Basically this (& all the methods above) work by gently abrading the disc to smooth out scratches, just like sanding scratches out of wood. I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect jeweler's rouge would work wonders on a DVD/CD. Be sure to completely clean the disc when you are done though as you don't want fine plastic particles or abrasives inside your player!
