Claim One:
1. A method for generating a stereoscopic video stream comprising composite images, said composite images comprising information about a right image and a left image of a three-dimensional video content, wherein pixels of said right image and pixels of said left image are selected, and said selected pixels are entered into a composite image of said stereoscopic video stream, wherein all the pixels of said right image and all the pixels of said left image are entered into said composite image by leaving one of said two images unchanged, breaking up the other one into a number of regions having a total area equal to that of said other image, and entering said regions into said composite image, wherein said composite image has greater dimensions than necessary for entering all the pixels of said left image and right image, and wherein, in the pixels of the composite image remaining after said entry, at least one depth or disparity map is entered which relates to the depth or disparity of the pixels of said three-dimensional video content, said maps being aimed at reconstructing, in reception, images not being transmitted in said stereoscopic stream.
