TrueHD 7.1 sometimes won't convert to FLAC

For context I like to rip movies for my plex server and use the FLAC profile it helps with direct play because Apple TV and home pods don't support TrueHD 7.1 and it just gets transcoded to FLAC anyways. 99% of my movies will convert to FLAC in MakeMKV except Deadpool and Wolverine and the New Alien: Romulus. Is there a fix for this? Or am i just out of luck?

Ripping from the disk i just get ffmpeg errors and it stalls and goes really slow and if i do a complete disk backup and try it that way. Its SUPER slow also.

Deadpool and Wolverine converted to FLAC for me just fine. I'm running MakeMKV 1.17.6 on an Intel Mac.

I generally make a decrypted disc backup then create .mkv files from the backup.
