John's right, those three possibilities represent the first of many choices you have to make. There are many other choices, such as side-by-side, top-bottom, or interleaved format.

Here's an immediate obstacle: I can't capture frames at 1920x1080 from the Aquarium, because that's not one of the choices from my video card.

So let's say I wanted to try 1280x720, side-by-side. That brings up two more choices:
1. Set the Aquarium to play in 1280x720, and capture frames directly.
2. Set the Aquarium to play in a higher resolution, and post-process the frames down to a size that BluRay can handle.

Which would look better, with less artifacting? No way of telling without a 3DTV to try it on. In fact, with all the caveats from the compression software, there's no way to predict if your 3D disk will play AT ALL on a Samsung system, without actually trying it.

I was able to get a free MVC compression encoder, but it's a command-line program with so many parameters that I got too tired of scrolling to even see them all.
