^^ There might be a burning error, maybe? Try ISOBuster. Just open the drive in it, navigate to whatever file you want, extract it to your hard disk.

Easy to use Isobuster. Just open the DVD in the isobuster window and select
the rar file to extract. Specify location. If DVD is damaged it may take ages.
You can also try CDroller another useful software.
