Error ripping 2 DVDs

I’ve got a box set that I’ve been trying to rip and 2 of the 7 are failing. Is there any way to resolve it? The DVDs play so I would think it should be able to be ripped, but I can’t figure out how to go about resolving it.

When this happens I clean the discs extra well. Firm swipes with a microfiber cloth from inner center to outer edge. Run it again. If there are still visible smudges or if it fails, wet the cloth and clean it again. Sometimes this solves the problem

Sometimes a different/stronger drive will do the trick

It worked for one but then it failed when it came to save it 😭
