How about the fact that their "MVC Encoding" is a scam? They essentially encode two separate High@4.0 streams into one file and alter the headers so that one of them says Stereo High, PD10 doesn't do anything you couldn't do for free with notepad and Avisynth.
That's because Power Director 10 doesn't create MVC streams correctly, the reason you're losing all of your depth is that you're only looking at the left stream. A true h.264 MVC encoded mp4 only has 1 stream that contains both views, whereas Power Director encoded files have two separate streams. The first stream is the left view, typically encoded as High@4.1, the second is actually Stereo High but only contains the right view which completely negates the point of MVC.
You can see what I'm talking about using MediaInfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net), here's a sample of the MediaInfo output from a properly formatted BD3D ssif file (which is what 3D Bluray players render movies from):
Format : BDAV
Format/Info : Blu-ray Video
File size : 449 MiB
Duration : 1mn 56s
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 32.3 Mbps
Maximum Overall bit rate : 32.0 Mbps
Video
ID : 4114 (0x1012)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : Stereo High@L4.1
MultiView_Count : 2
Then this is what you'd get from PD:
Format : BDAV
Format/Info : Blu-ray Video
File size : 220 MiB
Duration : 1mn 56s
Overall bit rate : 15.9 Mbps
Maximum Overall bit rate : 40.0 Mbps
Video #1
ID : 4113 (0x1011)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L4.0
Video #2
ID : 4114 (0x1012)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : Stereo High@L4.0
MultiView_Count : 2
This is totally wrong, I haven't actually taken the chance of wasting a Blank Bluray to see if a BD3D would actually play this crap but I'm guessing it would probably be $15 down the tubes.
