DVDFab can extract the h264 stream. In other words, it can extract the MAIN, AVC stream. And any good demuxer can also extract the MVC stream (the dependent view), but it's totally useless, as there is no way to decode it without the main AVC stream.

So, you can extract the AVC and the MVC streams (without quality loss) with any good demuxer (plus a decrypter to get rid of the protection), but to do something with that two video streams, you need a program that can decode the streams to either display them (like a 3D BD player) or to just output the raw streams to a file or a pipe (and it's exactly what FRIM does). Finally, you should re-encode the two streams to another format, more practical and requiring less disc space (like Half-SBS).

If you want to do that with free tools (and without watermarks), have a look at BD3D2MK3D. It does everything (except the removal of the protection) with the help of avisynth, and it outputs a final MKV in Half or Full-SBS or TAB, ready to be played with any 3D player. But it cannot re-encode to a smaller 3D BD.
