A method of storing three-dimensional image data in a recording medium in a storage format which includes configuration information on a configuration that is compatible with the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) base media file format, the method comprising: loading, in a predetermined file type field, image type information indicating either an image including only one or more stereoscopic images, or a compound image stream including a monoscopic image stream and a stereoscopic image stream; loading, in a predetermined image configuration information container field, scene descriptor information indicating temporal and spatial relations between a plurality of media objects included in the three-dimensional image, object configuration information indicating object attributes of each media object of said plurality of media objects and a configurative relation between encoded streams of the plurality of media objects, configurative information of the encoded streams; loading an image data container field with media data of an image to be stored; and loading a meta container field with metadata including information for playing the 3D image data, wherein the metadata includes: camera parameter information, when defined, comprising a baseline distance between two cameras photographing left and right images, focal lengths of left and right camera lenses with respect to a subject, information indicating whether cameras recording left and right images cross, convergence distance information including a distance between a central focus and the line representing the baseline distance between the left and right cameras, and when the cameras recording the left and right images cross, the camera parameter information comprises additionally a rotation angle about an object, and display information when defined, comprising a maximum disparity and a minimum disparity between images photographed through the multiple camera lenses, and a viewing distance of the stereoscopic image. loading, in a predetermined file type field, image type information indicating either an image including only one or more stereoscopic images, or a compound image stream including a monoscopic image stream and a stereoscopic image stream; loading, in a predetermined image configuration information container field, scene descriptor information indicating temporal and spatial relations between a plurality of media objects included in the three-dimensional image, object configuration information indicating object attributes of each media object of said plurality of media objects and a configurative relation between encoded streams of the plurality of media objects, configurative information of the encoded streams; loading an image data container field with media data of an image to be stored; and loading a meta container field with metadata including information for playing the 3D image data, wherein the metadata includes: camera parameter information, when defined, comprising a baseline distance between two cameras photographing left and right images, focal lengths of left and right camera lenses with respect to a subject, information indicating whether cameras recording left and right images cross, convergence distance information including a distance between a central focus and the line representing the baseline distance between the left and right cameras, and when the cameras recording the left and right images cross, the camera parameter information comprises additionally a rotation angle about an object, and display information when defined, comprising a maximum disparity and a minimum disparity between images photographed through the multiple camera lenses, and a viewing distance of the stereoscopic image. camera parameter information, when defined, comprising a baseline distance between two cameras photographing left and right images, focal lengths of left and right camera lenses with respect to a subject, information indicating whether cameras recording left and right images cross, convergence distance information including a distance between a central focus and the line representing the baseline distance between the left and right cameras, and when the cameras recording the left and right images cross, the camera parameter information comprises additionally a rotation angle about an object, and display information when defined, comprising a maximum disparity and a minimum disparity between images photographed through the multiple camera lenses, and a viewing distance of the stereoscopic image.
