1. A method for encoding a stereoscopic image stream comprised of a plurality of right-eye and left-eye image frames into a standard compressed digital stream containing merged video frames each containing spatially compressed subimages, the method comprising:

  • spatially compressing in a processor said plurality of right-eye and left-eye image frames by keeping complementary mosaics of pixels according to different spatial subsampling patterns to form field subimages so as to have pixels sampled from different spatial coordinates;

    concatenating in a processor said subimages to form merged video frames; and

    encoding in a processor said merged video frames according to said compressed digital format.
