Coming from other formats (including YouTube) there's a decent amount
of Side-by-Side (sbs) 3D content, but you're right, the BluRay titles
are coming "FullHD" or Alternate Frame.

I'm hoping that 3d awareness/support is planned for MythFrontend at
some point, not just for correct playback, but making sure that things
like the OSD are placed properly.
