Provided are a method and apparatus for generating a stream, and a method and apparatus for processing of the stream. The method of generating the stream includes: generating an elementary stream including three-dimensional (3D) image data providing a 3D image, and 3D detail information for reproducing the 3D image; generating a section including 3D summary information representing that a transport stream to be generated from the elementary stream provides the 3D image; and generating the transport stream with respect to the section and the elementary stream.
