I'm attempting to rip the disc (after reading up on many sites) and since it's encrypted I'd figure I'd try a decrypter. However, it can't read at one point in the disc (the disc is pretty darn scratched). Should I find a place that can resurface the disc?
Shit. I hope that was at an uninteresting point of it. I'd say maybe try to get it resurfaced at a store or somewhere for free but be ABSOLUTELY CAREFUL THAT THEY DONT DAMAGE IT OR STEAL IT perhaps.
I dunno, I think you should just archive what you can and deal with the scratched stuff later- if only for the risk of something happening to the entire DVD in the process.

I have got to agree with Llyod here, get whatever can be ripped off first and then try to repair the damage. Some of the disc is better than none if something were to happen.
Yeah, let's go with that. Just rip what you can and in the best quality possible! Also, how are you going to share the content? By a file link or YouTube uploads?

filelink is probably safer Pixar has a higher chance of finding it on YouTube

Again, who at Pixar knows or cares about this content being released into the wild? But yeah, actually we should release by files so I can upload it to YouTube So they can be released in full quality and not compressed by some degree by YouTube. Eg I think this DVD rip upload of mine looked superior when it wasn't on YouTube SD:
So someone marked Blowin' In The Wind as found. Did the dvd get uploaded or are they just jumping the gun early?
Edit: Since they only shared it on the discord (aka the worst way to talk about and preserve lost media) here's a link to it, it being a recording of the screen. As the title suggests, it uses Bob Dylan's Blowin' In The Wind, probably why it never got released drive.google.com/file/d/1R2SBkCTLxvK6T2D95m3tZY1psb-L598K/view
You know with the DVD stuff (with IBM logo being the one we thought it was) as well as the revelation that the Toppan Printing ads are definitely a thing and someone may have copies, there's interestingly just one Pixar ad left unaccounted for: Paramount "Logo" (1994).
Seeing as IBM "Logo" wasn't a literal logo but an ad with a logo in it, perhaps similar is the case here. As we can see from the MIPR leaflet (https://lostmediawiki.com/images/5/51/Tumblr_nb3iaoQcw41sutz8qo3_r1_1280m.jpg), for some reason it's "missing from the vault" but still listed, whilst three others at least have the mute video (also despite existing, the Toppan Printing stuff wasn't even mentioned like the Paramount Logo is).
We could contact Pixar people about what the ad was like, though it's lacking any production info on the Pixartalk commercial info (www.pixartalk.com/commercials/). I could ask jarets35 what the disc says if anything about the ad.
When they mentioned the plastic recycling plant fire I immediately went into research mode and found this old article that is what they maybe talking about. If this is what they are talking about then that means that the date they recorded this is potentially October 26, 2000.
