Re: Sensio format?

MPO is fine. The pair is un-distorted and saved as a special type of jpeg that fully preserves the left and right views.  As you point out, some applications don't display an MPO file correctly.  They show only one side of the pair.

A side-by-side (or above-below) jpeg does the same. All the info is there (excepting compression effects of using a "lossy" jpeg file, rather that TIFF or other uncompressed or loss-less file type).  Saved this way, many more applications will open and display both sides.

The file type you save is your choice. Just don't throw pixels away with "squeezing" or "squishing".
