A method and apparatus for transceiving a multi-view video to provide a two-dimensional (2D) video service as well as a three-dimensional (3D) video service or a multi-view 3D video service is provided. When a 2D video or a 3D stereo video or multi-view 3D video is transmitted in a 2D video synthesized by a video synthesizer, format supplementary information about the synthesized video is inserted to the PSI, PES or ES_Descriptor. The synthesized 2D video is decoded by a single video decoder and the decoded synthesized video is recovered to an original video by a video recovery unit with reference to the format supplementary information.
