I haven't seen this be a problem on MacOS with MakeMKV and a good external bluray drive (one a slim bluray and another a LG drive in a usb3 enclosure). I've had maybe 1 bad bluray disk that I backed up out of the hundreds of blu-ray disks that I own, and in that case it was the physical material separating on the disk itself.
Edit: I have one of the good LG drives that works well with Libredrive and as far as I've tested it can back up everything I've thrown at it.
- mistersquid 4y agoWhat software do you use to play ripped Blu-rays? I've tried both Macgo Blu-ray Player [1] and Anymp4 Blu-ray Player [2] and both have their playback issues. (Just a note that Anymp4 may look sketchy, but they are a legit company who do provide refunds if necessary.)

- skunkworker 4y agoVLC can play them just fine and anything that supports H.264/H.265 mkvs.

- account42 4y agoWhile MakeMKV can rip decrypted Blu-Rays as-is, the default mode of operation is to encapsulate the audio and video streams in a Matroska (.mkv) container for each track (hence the name MakeMKV) which should be playable in any video player worth its salt. Personlly I like mpv for its minimalism.
