MakeMKV can rip Blu-ray to MKV in lossless quality. But if can it help you rip 3D Blu-ray keeping 3D mode? With the VR Headsets and 3D TVs popping up, many people want to rip 3D Blu-ray to 3D video. So considering that MakeMKV can rip Blu-ray to MKV, they just wonder that if MakeMKV also can rip 3D Blu-ray to 3D MKV like the below need:
"Hi, i just brought San Andreas 3D Bluray, just wondering how can i rip it as a 3d bluray image e.g mkv, iso etc"
Actually, MakeMKV can rip 3D Blu-ray directly to MPEG-4 MVC 3D. MVC, aka 3D MVC (Multiview Video Coding) is an amendment to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression standard developed with joint efforts by MPEG/VCEG. Multiview Video Coding (MVC) is intended for encoding stereo (two-view) video, as well as free viewpoint television and multi-view 3D television. Stereo Blu-ray 3D releases use the Stereo High profile. MPEG4-MVC compresses both left and right eye views with a typical 50% overhead compared to equivalent 2D content, and can provide full 1080p resolution backward compatibility with current 2D Blu-ray Disc players. Blu-ray 3D discs are backward-compatible with standard Blu-ray players.
Now, let's rip 3D Blu-ray to 3D Full HD MVC MKV using the new releaseD MakeMKV 1.10.5 step by step.

VLC/MPC-HC/Mplayer and the x264 team are totally lack of mpeg-4 mvc support for MKV. So 3D MVC MKV is difficult to playback. Comparing with 3D MVC, more people like 3D SBS.
