This did not work. Plus in the video he leave after he clean the disc, and brings back a totally different disc.

This did not work, disco is no longer readably after doing this with toothpaste. It's a trick. Don't do this, your disks will no longer be readable.

It worked for me. This particular DVD had a segment where there was no sound and that problem did not go away. However there were also problems with certain parts freezing and that issue has been fixed (so far).
