摘要:
An information recording medium (100) is provided, which comprises a plurality of recording layers (104, 102) and a first disc information area (111) for storing parameters relating to access to the plurality of recording layers and formats relating to the plurality of recording layer. The first disc information area is provided in a first recording layer (104) which is one of the plurality of recording layers.

An optical disk has a first recording layer and a second recording layers placed one over the other in such a manner that information recorded in each layer is optically readable from one side of the disk. Tracks are formed on the first and second recording layers with a plurality of sectors provided along the tracks. The tracks on the first and second layers are in a spiral pattern and arranged such that the spiral patterns on the first and second layers have opposite winding directions when viewed from the same side of the disk. The sector addresses provided to the first recording layer increasing from the most inside circumference to the most outside circumference, and the sector addresses provided to the second recording layer increase from the most outside circumference to the most inside circumference. The sector addresses on the first and second layers in approximately corresponding places in the radial direction of the disk are in complementary relationship.
摘要:
An apparatus is provided for searching for a writable area of a write-once information recording medium, comprising a searching portion and a control portion. The searching portion searches for an unrecorded area using a prescribed address as a reference. The control portion provides a candidate address indicating a candidate for a writable area based on a result of the search, and performs a determination procedure for determining whether or not there is a defective area address indicating an address matching the candidate address in defect management information. When it is determined that there is not the defective area address indicating an address matching the candidate address, the control portion determines an area indicated by the candidate address as the writable area.
摘要:
A method of recording an AV file which uses an information recording disc which has a plurality of sectors on/from which data are recorded/reproduced includes a step in which it is judged whether inputted data are AV data or not, a step in which defective sectors existing in allocated data recording areas are detected, a step in which, when it is judged that the inputted data are AV data and the defective sectors are detected in the data recording areas, defect extents including defective sectors are allocated, a step in which AV data are recorded on successive sectors while the defect extents are skipped, and a step in which a region where sectors on which AV data only are recorded are successively existing is allocated as one AV extent.
