Also copy protection will report wrong size on files sometimes to interfere with cloning programs, so if not valid original disc you could run into that also.

...unless copying the *.cab file to your hard drive and seeing if it can be accessed there, or by attempting it to get an error msg telling you the file is corrupted or not able to be copied (indicating disc damage), or checking it for scratches which can be treated by the right product, I can't think of much more you can try.
