It's not so simple.
The main view (that can be the left or right view) is encoded in h264 (aka AVC). That's theoretically easy to do with x264, although there are specific constraints for a bly-ray.
It is right that the other view contains only the differences. It is called "dependent view" because it depends of the main view. But it is not encoded in h264/AVC like the main view. MVC is not just like AVC applied to a dependent view. I'm not a specialist, but I know that you cannot simply encode the differences in AVC, say with x264, to obtain the MVC stream. It's why it is necessary to use a complete AVC+MVC encoder. And currently, the only free encoder able to do that is the Intel MVC encoder. It is used internally by FRIM, and you cannot change that.
You cannot expect that somebody will spend years in developing alone a new MVC encoder simply because the Intel encoder is not perfect. That would require the work of a big team of very advanced programmers working during several years. Simply impossible, especially given the fact that there is already a free MVC encoder, and that the demand for such encoder is not really important.
