    You never said if you were using an extender or you played the disks from the SageTV computer.  That can make a big difference in how you want to store the disks and rip them. I’m going to assume an extender since that is what I know.

     

    You will probably want to look into ClownBD.  It allows you to strip out extras while leaving the video alone.  You can also re-encode the audio and include multiple tracks if you check the “Media Tank Options” option.  I use this to re-encode to Dolby so my TVs can decode the audio and sometimes also include the HD audio track.

     

    I rip to BDMV because I find it is easier to deal with.

     

    So far I haven’t found a good way to rip TV show disks for SageTV.  Sometimes you can find a track that has all the shows in one big 3.5 hour playlist, but other times it doesn’t.  So, I use a Dune media player and just rip the whole disk and the Dune is able to play the menus.  The Dune is an expensive route, unless like me you also needed a BD player so the wife could play her disks normally and then it’s still kinda pricey
