Im creating a stereoscopic movie and i need to be able to mux my two video streams (and one audio stream) into a container. The only guide ive found on this is here (http://www.3dtv.at/Knowhow/EncodingWmv_en.aspx), but it requires windows media encoder which only supports VC-1, which only supports interlaced content (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_H.264_and_VC-1), as well as not being free. So its looking like h264 is my codec of choice. So which containers will allow me to mux dual h264 video streams while allowing me to assign the streams as L + R?

Video Info:
1280x720p, 60fps, 8bit RGB.

sorry but you are mistaken...WMEncoder is free and VC-1 can be progressive too...

Thats really not the point.

NM, from the FAQ, its looks like MKV is the only container that can support such a thing. Now the question is, do any players support it?

Test it with Haali and MPC and also with MPC-HC's internal splitter. You're in the best position to know whether it works :)

If you are talking about AVC videos you can put that to MPEG-2 TS for example. Try out Elecard MPEG Multiplexer http://www.elecard.com/products/products-pc/sdk/codec-sdk/

Also you can put it to ASF
