I'm finding more DVDs in my collection that are un-readable... un-readable not only by MakeMKV, but also un-readable even in my "TV-connected DVD player". Searching for a solution has turned up a GNU package called 'ddrescue'. I've used 'ddrescue' to create an ISO file of a DVD, and it seems the "defects" are minimal.
Q: Can I use MakeMKV to create an mkv file I can play/stream using (for example) VLC?
Can MakeMKV process a "rescued" DVD / ISO file(s)??

That post has some info. In short, it might be able to let you stream the ISO to VLC. If you find another source, it might let you repair the damaged areas by merging the 2 together.
Your other option, very unlikely though, is to use Par2 files if you know someone that has the same disc and is willing to generate one for you.
