And that is exactly the reason why I am not using SBS.

You know if you are using a passive 3D tv you are perfectly fine to display any Full 3D movie as Half TAB, since that is what the tv will do anyways. So for passive TVs there is no quality loss if you have a Full SBS/TAB movie or a Half TAB movie and watch it wih XBMC.

I thought frame packing definitely needs driver support because of the huge resolution (1920 x 2205). The waiting for ffmpeg is only for the MVC encoding of the video. If you already have a full SBS/TAB file you don't need it.

What are people using to rip/convert their 3D BD's to HSBS MKV? I've been trying DVDFab9 with mixed results. Also having some trouble getting XBMC to recognize the file even if named properly with .HSBS tags.
Ideally I want the highest HSBS resolution with untouched HD audio, chapters and subtitles even if I have to remux that all in.

HSBS and highest resolution at the same time is not possible. If you want to rip, you can choose FullSBS or FullTAB format. For 3D detection make sure you have the 3D flag set in your MKV header as XBMC will prefer those over the filename detection.

Do you mean mvc or do you mean framepacking?

Either, I thought MVC used framepacking.
I'm after playing full 3D blu-rays in their native fullscreen 3D in XBMC rather than using Stereoscopic Player.
I have an active 3D projector if that makes any difference.

+ framepacking requires HW driver support, which might not be a problem on Windows, but I'm not sure about the linux world
