Abstract: A media file format based on an ISO base media file, a method and apparatus for reproducing the same, and an apparatus for generating the same are disclosed. The media file format based on an ISO base media file includes: a first area including first information indicating whether or not a file includes stereoscopic contents; and a second area including second information related to a reproducing method or a storing method of a stream included in the stereoscopic contents. Accordingly, the media file format based on an ISO base media file can effectively store and reproduce stereoscopic contents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multimedia data decoding method and apparatus. The decoding method includes receiving multimedia data including a data area including a plurality of media data areas each corresponding to a plurality of media data; and a media information area including a plurality of track areas each corresponding to the plurality of media data areas; reading the media information area; extracting timing information for sequentially reproducing the media data comprised in the media data area, from the track area; and reproducing the media data, using the media data of the data area and the extracted timing information. According to the present invention, the multimedia data decoding method and apparatus has an effect of being capable of constructing a slide show by only a small amount of multimedia data. Thus, a time taken to process and transmit the multimedia data can reduce.
