If someone want to create and analyze a real "movie only" 3D disc, then download the trial of DVD Architect Pro. With this software it is possible as I've seen.
Actually you have it backwards. Give the X264 team the credit they deserve. These formats are the actual standard for presentation of 3D. MVC is just a way that Blu-Ray decided to implement it on their disc (probably to save space), but they have to be converted for playback. The blu-ray player has to reassemble the decoded picture into one of these formats (top-and-bottom frame packed) in order to present it to the monitor over HDMI. The monitor then internally converts it to frame sequential for display. None of these formats necessarily lower resolution: for example, the over-and-under is two full 1920x1080 pictures contained in one frame, and I don't believe frame alternation puts two pictures in one frame -- it uses full pictures (with double the frame rate) that have alternating L/R views.
