DVD Fab 5

I wonder if anyone is using DVD Fab 5 to make avi backups of there DVDs for playback through sageTV MVP.

I'm having trouble finding a nice SageTV compatible set of conversion parameters
MKV containers don't seem to work at all.
and the AVI containers are somehow switching the center and front left channels.

For the MVP I just leave it in the .VOB format. That works on the MVP. Why convert it at all? See the page in the Sage manual regarding the subdirectory format for DVDs. (Appendix I page 260)

I did that for a while, but sometimes I use placeshifter and as for as I know it will not stream DVDs, so I started converting to AVI.....

I use DVD HD Decrypter to grab the main movie, then AutoGK to create an AVI. I've had no problems whatsoever with playback on placeshifter or my MVPs.

Correct. Placeshifter does not handle any type of DVDs.

I do not have an MPV but with the AVI you should be able to pick audiocopy or mp3 for the AVI container. If it supports wmv files you could use the Xbox360 option.
