Yes, I do have a 3D player. My justification of SBS is the compression for the NAS. SBS gives better visual quality than MVC/FRIM when compressing to <<BD25. So I could make a full disc backup say at CRF20 which results in an SBS feature size of say 6 .. 10GB (depending on the source of course). I can then copy the compressed SBS feature .m2ts to the NAS for streaming and keep the full backup on a (underutilized) BD25 with the menu and Extras.
It is not terribly important, so you could perhaps just gray out the "Enable 3D SBS/OU movie-only output" when "Full backup" is selected which would prevent users to produce non-playable discs.
