Though not written backwards, GC discs are structured differently than normal DVDs and can't be read or written by conventional DVD drives.

like i said i am no expert
another idea i had is maybe they are written with smaller burning laser's
it would explain why they can't be read on any standard optical drive
(work with me here)

PS. I am not into riping GC disks just exploring an idea

are the gamecube discs written in a different file structure or format like FAT 32 or NTFS (except one which my computer cant read) or is it that the laser in the disc drive cant read the bits on the disc?

The discs can't be read because there is a barcode in the area where the lead-in or the TOC (table of contents) should be. So when your drive goes to read the disc, it goes there to read it and obviously can't because the barcode is in the way.

I'm not sure but the discs may be formatted differently, that is the lead-in and TOC are pushed up behind the barcode. This may cut down the capacity of the disc.

Things which use barcodes are CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) and DivX discs.

I actually tried to read a barcode in the early days using a microscope but it was too time consuming.

NES_player4LIFE If you're "no expert" then don't spread stupid rumours which you have no idea about.
