Hi, you may want to try another DVD to make sure the one you have is not bad or damaged. Since it is stopping in the middle of the disk, it sounds damaged or dirty. Take warm water and hand soap to wash the disk. Dry well and try again.
What DVD is it? That being said here are a few options. 1) Try the AnyDVD, DVD43 or DVD Decryptor programs to get by the copy-protection. 2) Try DVD Shrink to "re-author" the DVD. This program will allow the selection of specific video and sound tracks to be saved to your drive. Not sure on the accessible part. For example, you can select the main movie and the french sound track or the commentary track. All that being said, you'll have to search for the applications. Can't give links to them since I'm in the US and DMCA prevents it. Some legal issues there prevent fair-use. I hear there is a great search site out there, something like Moogle, Boogle, Foogle, Yoogle, Woogle or such. Good Luck!
