I'm also considering an Intel NUC more precisely the D54250WYK but only if its possible for the Intel IGP Hardware decoder to render 3840x1080 and 1920x2160 video. Since as far as I know using 3DAVC/MVC with linux/OpenElec currently, framepacking is I believe not an option as well. Wbhat are the experience with FullHD 3D resolution on Intel NUC hardware?

MVC is an encoding format where one eye is encoded only as the difference between it and the other eye. There are no open source MVC decoders so far, when there is MVC in ffmpeg, it will eventually get into XBMC.

Framepacking is something else. It is a output method where both eyes are output in the same frame with extra signaling to indicate it is frame packed. It can be done with XBMC as I understand it (search for afedchin builds) in windows with proprietary video drivers.
