BD3D2MK3D is a GUI to convert movies from 3D BDs to 3D MKV video files in Full or Half Side by Side, Top & Bottom or Frame sequential format, encoded in h264 with x264 (or in h265 with x265). Since v0.87, BD3D2MK3D can also accept lossless 3D AVC+MVC files created with MakeMKV as input.

All features
Convert any 3D playlist from a properly decoded blu-ray 3D to a standalone Half-side by side or Half-top & bottom (aka Over/Under) 3D MKV file.
Can also accept as input a 3D-MKV file created with MakeMKV (with the option to include the 3D MVC stream).
Can optionally convert to Full-SBS, Full-T&B or Full-Frame Sequential 3D.
Can resize the output to 720p
Can output a 3D stream compatible with 3D-Ready DLP projectors (720p Frame Sequential at 59.94fps).
Can convert the subtitle streams to 3D, using the depth stored in the original BD for each individual subtitles. (The subtitles can also be kept in 2D if you wish.)
Can hardcode (or "burn") a subtitle stream (all or forced captions only) over the video with the right depth for each individual subtitles.
The subtitles can be muxed in the original BD SUP format for an excellent quality or in VobSub (IDX/SUB) format for a better compatibility.
It is even possible, with some manual work and the help of the Tools menu of BD3D2MK3D, to use a subtitle stream coming from another source (such as a SRT downloaded from the internet or a SUP stream from the 2D BD of the same movie) and convert it to 3D with (approximately) the right depth values to mux it within the final MKV or hardcode it to the video. See the mini guide here.
Can extract the regular 5.1 DTS or AC3 cores of the DTS-HD, DTS-HD-MA, E-AC3 and TrueHD audio streams.
Can convert the audio tracks to AC3 or AAC for a better compatibility or a smaller file size.
The chapter points are automatically preserved in the final MKV file.
Can include tags about the movie (movie title, director, producer, actors, summary, comments, etc...)
Can add some seconds of black at the beginning or end of the video so that the user has some time to configure his 3D TV and to turn his active 3D glasses on before the beginning of the movie.
The encoding to h264 is made with x264 (32 or 64-bit) for an excellent image quality, and the user can select the most important encoding settings, such as the encoding mode (CQ, CRF, ABR or 2-pass), the preset, tune, profile and level. It can also specify manually additional options if he wish.
The correct 3D video mode is automatically defined in the h264 video stream (the "frame-packing"), in the header of the MKV video file (the stereoscopy mode), and optionally in the file name, so that most TVs and 3D players can switch automatically to the right 3D mode when the file is played.
The final MKV file is automatically muxed at the end of the encoding, and there is an option to shutdown the computer when everything is finished.
BD3D2MK3D has also some independent tools, notably powerful tools to convert an external subtitle stream to 3D, using the 3D depth values extracted from the original 3DBD, and optionally the subtitle positions cloned from another subtitle file.

I found BD3D2MK3D when trying to find a way to play my 3D blu-rays on my Windows PC, specifically Kodi. As far as I could see it's just not possible as support for such things has been discontinued and removed. That's what lead me to BD3D2MK3D. This won't allow you to nativity play a 3D blu-ray, but it can convert it to a Full Side by Side file which is the next best thing. I used MakeMKV to convert to the disc to a 3D MKV file, and then used BD3D2MK3D to convert it to a Full Side by Side mkv file. You could also rip directly from a disc if you have a way to remove the copy protection on fly. That's about it really, the final file plays in Kodi wonderfully, I can't tell the difference in quality and it just works. Kodi will even let you play the file in 2D. Although I wish there was a way to just play the disc in 3D on Windows, this is a good alternative and I'm happy with the results.

I can't for the life of me get my files working in BigScreen video player. (if I play them in VLC and make my desktop 3D, they work fine)
They also work fine on my Panasonic Plasma TV, but NOT on my brothers projector.
But in BigScreen....they look 2D....if I tell it HSBS, it shows half of 1 side to 1 eye, and the other half to the other eye. (splitting a 2D image, even tho the file is clearly dble image SBS in VLC)
Some files that I did NOT personally RIP, play fine in BigScreen....I can't find the differences. :(

@ecou2508: You can add any Avisynth filter. Just edit the __ENCODE_3D_MOVIE.avs script to suit your needs, and launch the encoding normally.
@madipav: BD3D2MK3D is a tool to convert a 3D BD (optionally decrypted by MakeMKV) to MKV 3D in SBS, TAB or FS format. It is NOT a tool to recompress another MKV file.
