Hybrid video decoder supporting intermediate view synthesis of an intermediate view video from a first- and a second- view video which are predictively coded into a multi-view data signal with frames (122 1 - 122 4) of the second-view video being spatially subdivided into sub-regions (132 232) and the multi-view data signal having a prediction mode out of a set of possible prediction modes, associated with each of the sub-regions, wherein the set of possible prediction modes comprises at least an inter-view prediction mode and an intra-view prediction mode, the hybrid video decoder comprising: an extractor configured to respectively extract, from the multi-view data signal, for sub-regions (132 232) of the frames of the second-view video with which the inter-view prediction mode is associated, a disparity vector and a prediction residual; a predictive reconstructor configured to reconstruct the sub-regions (132 232) of the frames of the second-view video with which the inter-view prediction mode is associated, by generating a prediction from a reconstructed version of a portion of frames (120 1 - 120 4) of the first-view video using the disparity vectors extracted from the multi-view data signals for the respective sub-regions, and the prediction residual for the respective sub-regions; and an intermediate view synthesizer configured to reconstruct first portions of the intermediate view video using the reconstructed version of the portions of the frames (120 1 - 120 4) of the first-view video, characterized in that the intermediate view synthesizer is configured to reconstruct the first portions of the intermediate view video using the disparity vectors extracted from the multi-view signal, and configured to reconstruct fourth portions of the intermediate view video other than the first portions by temporally and/or spatially interpolating disparity vectors extracted from the multi-view data signal for the sub-regions of the frames of the second-view video with which the inter-view prediction mode is associated, to obtain disparity vectors for sub-regions with which the intra-view prediction mode is associated. an extractor configured to respectively extract, from the multi-view data signal, for sub-regions (132 232) of the frames of the second-view video with which the inter-view prediction mode is associated, a disparity vector and a prediction residual; a predictive reconstructor configured to reconstruct the sub-regions (132 232) of the frames of the second-view video with which the inter-view prediction mode is associated, by generating a prediction from a reconstructed version of a portion of frames (120 1 - 120 4) of the first-view video using the disparity vectors extracted from the multi-view data signals for the respective sub-regions, and the prediction residual for the respective sub-regions; and an intermediate view synthesizer configured to reconstruct first portions of the intermediate view video using the reconstructed version of the portions of the frames (120 1 - 120 4) of the first-view video, characterized in that the intermediate view synthesizer is configured to reconstruct the first portions of the intermediate view video using the disparity vectors extracted from the multi-view signal, and configured to reconstruct fourth portions of the intermediate view video other than the first portions by temporally and/or spatially interpolating disparity vectors extracted from the multi-view data signal for the sub-regions of the frames of the second-view video with which the inter-view prediction mode is associated, to obtain disparity vectors for sub-regions with which the intra-view prediction mode is associated.
