I have a CD with our favorite movie on it: Bud Spencer - Soldier of Fortune. I promised to my son to watch it together with him. Unfortunately the CD was faulty, KDE didn't recognise it. My son was so sad, I just had to do something about it.
tail -f /var/log/kernel.log
revealed "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 326084". After some failed attempts and reading some 'man mount
' I found out how to mount the CD:
mount -r -t iso9660 -o nofail,ro /dev/sr0 /media/cd/
After this, ls /media/cd/
did show the file on the CD. Time to use the almighty dd utility. I found this blog entry to be very helpful:

(On a side note, it seems the author of this blog uses GoboLinux, well done!)
So the command to rescue my CD was:
dd if=/media/cd/Zsoldoskatona.avi of=/tmp/Zsoldoskatona.avi bs=512 conv=noerror,sync
And we were able to watch the movie!
hello dude
