We can use Debugmode Frameserver to easily connect Premiere (and some other NLE software) and MediaCoder 0.7.3.4682 (or later version). Video exported from Premiere can be encoded directly with MediaCoder to save time and effort and improving quality.
The following are the brief steps to make it work.

Quoted from the blog of an x264 developer:
For many years it has been possible to make your own DVDs with free software tools. Over the course of the past decade, DVD creation evolved from the exclusive domain of the media publishing companies to something basically anyone could do on their home computer.
But Blu-ray has yet to get that treatment. Despite the “format war” between Blu-ray and HD DVD ending over two years ago, free software has lagged behind. “Professional” tools for Blu-ray video encoding can cost as much as $100,000 and are often utter garbage. Here are two actual screenshots from real Blu-rays: I wish I was making this up.
But today, things change. Today we take the first step towards a free software Blu-ray creation toolkit.

Since MediaCoder 0.7.3, multi-threaded version of MPlayer and MEncoder are included in the full pack distribution (in the past only included in optimization packs). However, as the MT version of MPlayer/MEncoder is still experimental, its inclusion brings some problems with MediaCoder. Decoding of Some H.264 files (mainly MKV) is blocked sometimes. If you encounter this issue, a workaround is to disabling multi-threaded decoding. You can do this by clicking Source button on Video tab. A pop up dialog should display the options of MEncoder and clicking “Decoding threads” and put a value of 1 (meaning single thread) in the blank at the bottom of the dialog.MediaCoder 0.7.3刚发布了几个星期，一些用户发现新版本没有过去稳定。经过调查，发现主要问题是因为新版本采用了多线程版的MPlayer来进行H.264解码，而这个多线程版本目前还不是非常稳定，过去只在处理器优化包中包含。主要现象是解码一些H.264的MKV文件时，MediaCoder会阻塞住。如果您遇到这样的问题，一个解决方法是禁用多线程解码，具体操作如下：
A low cost apparatus for capturing stereoscopic video is described and footage from the apparatus is presented in anaglyph form.
A piece of L-shaped extruded aluminum was cut to length and drilled. Cameras are attached with 1/4-20 panhead machine screws, 1/4″ nylon washers, and 1/4-20 wingnuts. The apparatus is attached to a quick release shoe for use with a tripod. Cameras are manually activated for simultaneous filming. A 6.5cm baseline is used (similar to human eye baseline). Longer baselines can be used to increase parallax when filming distant objects. Left and right video channels are processed and composited in video editing software. Audiovisual cues are used to synchronize the video streams. Depth may be adjusted by changing the x-direction offset between the right and left video channels. Total cost for cameras and materials: USD 250.
