Current BD specification prescribes the following format for the ADIP: 24 bits, 3 of which to indicate the layer number, 19 for the RUB number, and 2 to be set to 00, 01 and 10 consecutively in the 3 successive ADIP words corresponding to one RUB that is the smallest partition of data that can be written on the disc. From this it derives that at most 32.2 GB of storage space can be addressed. Due to recent developments however, a storage capacity of 35 GB per layer could be achieved. A slight modification of the ADIP format is proposed, so as to allow an extension of the addressing space: the setting 11 for the two least significant bits is allowed, while the 19 bits no longer represent the RUB number. A drive will nevertheless convert the ADIP into a RUB number and vice versa, in a way which is transparent to a host device or application program.
