A method for decoding a multi-view video data in a multi-view video stream, comprising: receiving the multi-view video data stream including a random access picture including a random access slice and a profile indicator indicating that a received video stream is the multi-view video data stream, wherein the random access slice is referencing only slices corresponding to a same time and a different view of the random access picture; and the method further comprises: obtaining a random access flag for inter-view prediction, the random access flag indicating whether a picture is the random access picture; obtaining initialization information for the random access slice based on the random access flag and the profile indicator, the initialization information representing information recognizing a predictive structure between a plurality of views, the initialization information including view number information and view identification information; obtaining type information indicating whether the random access slice is predicted from one reference picture or two reference pictures; initializing the reference picture list, the initializing including ordering reference pictures used for the inter-view prediction of the random access slice, the reference pictures being specified by the view number information and the view identification information according to the type information; characterized in that the method further comprises: obtaining a difference value from the multi-view video data stream, the difference value representing a difference of view number in the initialized reference picture list; determining an assignment modification value for modifying a reference index in the initialized reference picture list according to the difference value; modifying the initialized reference picture list for the inter-view prediction using the determined assignment modification value; determining a prediction value of a macroblock in the random access picture based on the modified reference picture list; and decoding the macroblock using the prediction value; wherein the initialization information is obtained from an extension area of a sequence header. receiving the multi-view video data stream including a random access picture including a random access slice and a profile indicator indicating that a received video stream is the multi-view video data stream, wherein the random access slice is referencing only slices corresponding to a same time and a different view of the random access picture;
