Pulling a large file out of cd

Hi guys,
I have this CD with a movie of my brother’s wedding in it. It was done in another country and they put the movie file as AVSEQ01.DAT. Now all I have to do is go into the CD and play that file as windows media player. The movie starts and plays fine.
But what I really need to do is preserve the movie and put it on my Hard Drive. Now when I try to copy and paste it onto my HD, it does goes for about 17% and then gives me an error that it has MS-DOS problem or something like that. So I cant copy the file onto my HD and name it MPEG. I just cant copy it onto the HD.

There are other files in the CD. Inside the cd are 5 folders.
Folder1: CDI. Inside CDI are CDI_IMG.doc (1,475kb), CDI_VCD.APP (100kb), CDI_TEXT (14kb) and CD!_VCD.CFG (1kb). Folder 2: MPEGAV. Inside this is the movie file, AVSEQ01.DAT (629,585 kb). So this is the move I try to pull out but cant. Folder3: VCD. Inside this are: ENTRIES.VCD (2kb), LOT.VCD (64kb), INFO.VCD (2kb) and PSD.VCD (1kb).
Folder4: EXT. Inside are LOT_X.VCD (64kb), SCANDATA.DAT(30kb) and PSD_X.VCD (1kb).
Folder5: SEGMENT: This folder has nothing inside.

If anyone can understand why I cant copy the movie file over, plz help. Are there and Programs that you can recommend which will pull it out sector by sector, slowly? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I have CD-RWIN, Easy cd platinum and clone cd. I can use these programs if you have an idea on how to configure it to rip files out without making them a .bin/.img/.iso file. I just need to pull that movie file out and save it on my hard drive as MPEG.
Plz, any help?

Pac, start by trying to read the file from your CDRW, they tend to be more tolerant of scratched media. I would also attemp to copy the file from the dos level (if the file system is not joliette)

Since it's family video, you may want to try to borrow someone else's CD and see if that works

Grab a copy of <a href="http://www.virtualdub.org/index" target="_blank">VirtualDub</a> which will extract the DAT file direct from the CD & re-encode it as an AVI.
