I've been using the [* Generic (DivX/AC3) AVI - Forced Subtitles] format suggested at the beginning of this thread for months now to rip my DVDs to disk to play them through my XBOX. When I recently upgraded to 1.6.1.0, I found that this format no longer works.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what the best format for ripping DVDs for xbox playback with 5.1 sound (that can be played from Video Library) in 1.6.1.0?
Correct, those profiles are only for 1.2.0.1 at the moment, but Fernando has mentioned recently that he will add a constant bitrate option for lame which should allow them to work (check the beta release notes to see when it happens).This is due to the fact that neither 1.6.1.0 or 1.6.1.5 Beta will work with that profile. The only version that it will work with is 1.2.0.1, not sure as to why but I'm sure others will chime in, otherwise you will get an error.
I had the same issue, as well as a few others. I gave up and went to the WD TV and bypassed the 360 completely. It plays everything without hiccup and can even play the DVD in iso form so no need to compress at all.

I find myself in this exact situation. I am in the first stages of backing up my DVDs to create a media server situation. In my first attempt to create a file that will stream to my 360 via Tversity, I've had a hell of a time. I think I'm taking your advice and looking into the WD TV.I 200% AGREE.
A WD TV LIVE costs $100 if you look around, and at most $120. An Asus o!play costs even less. They play your SD content from off of attached HD, from a networked PC or from a home server perfectly with no post processing to waste your time and reduce quality. they play hd content fine with maybe one or two minor tweaks for audio but usually you don't have to do that.
I like my xbox360, but if you have many movies, as presumably people on anydvd forums do , you are going to spend WAY more than $100 worth of your time muxing, transcoding etc when you don't need to. Just get oneo these networked streamers they are cheap as heck and just getting cheaper and work way better than xbox360 for this task.
I don't want to threadjack for people who for some reason absolutely MUST use their 360, but people should consider the alternative of just a proper device which is cheap, not to mention les noisy than that 360.
