Claim 4:
5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the dependent-view reconstructor is configured to extract for the at least one block of the current picture of the dependent view, a reference picture index specifying a reference picture of a list of reference pictures comprising the current picture of the reference view and already decoded pictures of the dependent view,
wherein the dependent-view reconstructor is configured to, if the reference picture is one of the already decoded pictures of the dependent view, perform the motion-compensated prediction using the one already decoded picture of the dependent view as a reference, and if the reference picture is the current picture of the reference view, add the disparity vector or a modified disparity vector derived from the disparity vector to a list of disparity vector prediction candidates, extract index information specifying one disparity vector predictor candidate of the list of disparity vector predictor candidates from the multi-view data stream and reconstruct the at least one block of the current picture of the dependent view by performing a disparity-compensated prediction of the at least one block of the current picture of the dependent view using a disparity vector which depends on the specified disparity vector candidate using the current picture of the reference view as a reference.
