Stereoscopic 3D editing tutorial and 3D Blu-ray burn

Hello,

I'm trying to find a good and valid tutorial on how to edit and create a 3D blu-ray discs from left and right videos.
As I understand it, the best quality comes from frame-packed top/bottom with a separator line in the middle, each screen 1920x1080/24fps (active 3D).
Preferably with a menu, though the menu doesn't have to be in 3D, but it would be a beautiful thing.
It should be able to play directly on a 3D blu-ray player and the TV should automaticly switch to the corresponding 3D mode.

Is this at all possible to do with Vegas Pro, also to do 3D blu-ray authoring?
Are there any limitation that need to be adressed by third party programs?

Also, is it possible to add support for passive 3D on the same 3D blu-ray?

So first of all I'm looking for a tutorial on this for Vegas Pro, but if someone can answer some of these questions here,
that would be very helpful!

All the best,
Jesper

Yes, it is possible to edit 3D footage in Vegas. The footage has to be rendered with the Sony AVC/MVC-Encoder to mvc files, that can be imported in the Authoring Software DVDA. This Software can create 3D-BDs, also with menus but only with 2D menus.

Thanks for the reply!

DVDA, does that come with the Vegas Pro suit or does it need to be purchased somewhere else?

Vegas DVD Architect (also known as DVD A 7) comes with Vegas Pro Suite and Vegas Pro "standard/classic"", but not with Vegas Pro Edit. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-pro/product-comparison/#productMenu

So I've had no problems creating a side by side Blu Ray but I can't figure out how to make a Frame-Packed Blu Ray 3D. Do you have to set the properties in Vegas to Side by Side full or Top/Bottom full, render, and import into DVDA? I just can't seem to make a Frame-packed Blu Ray 3d work right.

As I said - you have to use the Sony AVC/MVC encoder! That delivers no sbs or tb footage but MVC files that can be used in the DVDA.
