I'm wondering what interest there is still for extending MythTV's 3D capabilities?

It seems that Bino is supporting HDMI frame packed output now, this thread looks interesting for Linux 3DTV, someone has created modelines for framepacked video output.

Are there any plans to support frame packed or even sequential frame output one day?

I'm planning to get a 120Hz 3D capable display for other reasons but would be good to be able to play 3D bluray files or Side By Side transmissions through MythTV. I know SBS is supported in that it will pass through and you can discard one eye to watch in 2D but to work with the selection of recent 3D LCD monitors (Asus VG278H, Acer HN274H and Benq XL2420TX) frame packed output would be required even from SBS content. There's no space in the office for even a small 3DTV, the PS3 TV gets lousy write ups.

I guess that leads into the next VDPAU Advanced 2x thread, "can I do Advanced 2x at 120hz?" or should that be Advanced 4x… ;-)
