Hi.
Sounds like a bad disc.
Can you test it in any other machine?
Does it appear to have and scratches or smudges on it?

yea it does have scratches on
but what good would it do from testing it on another machine.

If this disc wasn't damaged, testing it in another machine would rule out the disc as the problem.

However, since the disc is damaged, you may want to try a repair kit. I know some Video rental stores will fix damaged discs (sometimes for free).
How badly is it scratched?

Video rental stores.
I know my Local JB HiFi (Electronics store) will do it.
Some places do charge a couple $ per disc though.
