Methods include receiving a multi-view video stream including a random access picture including a random access slice referencing only a slice corresponding to a same time and a different view of the random access picture; obtaining identification information representing the multi-view video stream including initialization information of a reference picture list for the random access slice; obtaining the initialization information based on the identification information, the initialization information representing view relationships between a plurality of views and including view number information and view identification information for the plurality of views; initializing the reference picture list using the view number information and the view identification information; determining a prediction value of a macroblock in the random access picture based on the initialized reference picture list; and decoding the macroblock using the prediction value, the initialization information being obtained from an extension area of a sequence header.
