Received my Svengali replacement copy yesterday. It still won't rip (using MakeMKV on a Mac): read errors. But I played it through on my Oppo, in both quad and stereo, and heard no skipping. I've never had read errors ripping any other Blu-ray title, using the same hardware and software.
I just got around to ripping my pile of purchases from the last year or so and I also had issues ripping the Svengali disc. I am using MakeMKV on a Windows PC. So far the only one of the quadios to give me a problem. I'm curious if you ever figured out a workaround for this. Only the first track (Thoroughbread) is compromised on mine, I am able to rip everything starting with track 2.

I found that a couple of the Quadio’s simply would not open in MakeMKV, Sundown and The Hissing of Summer Lawns being two that gave me issues. I found that actually making a full disc backup using MakeMKV and then opening the index file from the resulting BDMV folder opened it up right away and I could rip with no problems.

No workaround for me, I just gave up on ripping it. As soon as MakeMKV opens my disc, it reports errors and won't go further, so I can't rip any of the tracks.
 
Duke Ellington
just picked this up on discogs for a great price. Looking forward to this one!

I never ordered this. It's sold out on the Rhino website, but I bought it on Amazon; with a credit I had...$18.26. :LB

Please don't give up. You can do it. I have been ripping discs for years and have had a few hiccups, but have always fixed.
I bet you have tried everything and frustration is high, but I'll leave a couple of notes for you.
Blu Ray ripping:
Use up to date MKV.
I had a problem where Blu Ray discs where starting to be hit and miss on ripping. I purchased the newest version external BD player
AMAZON PIONEER PLAYER, I purchased this July 11, 2023 my second and solved all my problems that my first had.
I see now there is a AMAZON NEWER VERSION I would purchase this now if I needed to.

I was using Windows 10, now using Windows 11 (no special settings in Windows is needed), and my ripping Blu Ray experience is still the same positive experience on all discs.
I hope this helps. There is of course more after the initial rip, tagging and playing and I won't bog you down with all that.
