On the other hand once you learn Linux you will discover no application is
needed. You simply mount it using the loopback device.

/usr/cdrom/xxx.iso /usr/cdrom iso9660 user,rw,loop=/dev/loop2 0 0

And then use "cp" as normal for copying them off. However, this is no
help if there is a hardware problem. And randomly placed errors that
come and go indicate a hardware problem not a media problem. The person
who asked for this trick had forgotten he was draining the swamp and
was distracted by an alligator two counties away.
