I get these errors while trying to open the disc.

This will go on for about 20 minutes or longer and then fail out.

I think this is just a bad disc but I am just curious if anyone else can think of what might be wrong.
I have tried 3 different drives (2 pioneer and 1 LG) all failed, but have recently used all of these drives and while I could see one failing I doubt all 3 are.
Tried multiple cleaning attempts, first with a gentile microfiber cloth multiple times and lastly a couple times with some light soap and water.

Thanks for any advice, still learning this stuff!
