Thank you very much for that, I'll be giving it a whirl later today.

I'm sure most 3D devices aren't capable of using wider images than they are able to output, but that's not a limitation in Stereoscopic Player (and probably other software 3D media players). You're absolutely right that the output needs to be 16:9, but the video file we're using should be considered as an input, e.g.:
Input video -> 3D processing -> output video (16:9)

So SS player can do:
Input MKV (32:9 - full-SBS@ 16:9 x2) -> 3D processing -> output video (16:9 - interleaved)

In that way it uses the full 1920x1080x2 video frame to create the 3D output, so I'm assured the maximum quality on my 4k TV. It's possible that the full 1920x1080x2 video frame is used in the 3D processing even if the container is set to a lower aspect ratio, but I don't know that, so this is a way for me to be sure without doing laborious testing.

Hopefully this clears up why it's useful to me, but regardless I really appreciate the effort and the sub fix, tyvm.
