A mark having a length nT (n being an integer equal to or greater than 3 and T being a clock period) is formed by modulating irradiation laser power with three values of recording power Pw, erase power Pe, and bias power Pb (Pw Pe > Pb). Constant strength periods of the recording power Pw are set as A t T, A l T, ... , and A m T and constant strength periods of the bias power Pb are set as B t T, B l T, ..., B m T, and CT (C = -1 to 3). The application of laser is divided into pulses in order of A t T, B t T, A l T, E l T, ... , A m T, B m T, and CT (m = (n-k)/2, k=3 (if n is an odd number), or k=4 (if n is an even number)). (Here, the constant strength period A t of the recording power Pw for n=3, D=4 n≥5 (odd number), and n≥6 (even number) is set as A t3 , A t4 , A tod , and A tev , the constant strength period Bt of the bias power Pb for n=3, n=4, n≥5 (odd number), and n≥6 (even number) is set as B t3 , B t4 , B tod , and B tev , and then, At 3 +B t3 = A tod +B tod = A m +B m = 2T and At4+Bt4 = A tev +B tev = 3T).

An information recording medium includes a lead-in area and a data area for storing contents information. The lead-in area includes a first lead-in information area and a second lead-in information area. The first lead-in information area corresponds to a first playback mode. The second lead-in information area corresponds to a second playback mode different from the first playback mode. The first lead-in information area is an area in which information relating to the data area is to be recorded, wherein an error correction ability in the error correction block units corresponds to an information amout of n bytes: The second lead-in information area includes a pre-pit area having information whose amount is greater than at least n bytes regarding the prescribed error correction block unit.

A recording medium has first and second areas on which first and second information signals are recorded respectively. The first information signal has a size Ya. The second information signal has a size Yb. A head operates for reproducing the first and second information signals from the first and second areas of the recording medium and transmitting the reproduced first and second information signals on a time sharing basis and at a predetermined constant transfer rate Rp while moving between the first and second areas of the recording medium. A buffer memory operates for receiving the first and second information signals from the head at the predetermined constant transfer rate Rp, for temporarily storing the first and second information signals, and for outputting the first and second information signals at first and second transfer rates Ra and Rb respectively. The first and second transfer rates Ra and Rb are lower than the predetermined constant transfer rate Rp. The predetermined constant transfer rate Rp, the first transfer rate Ra, the second transfer rate Rb, the size Ya of the first information signal, the size Yb of the second information signal, a seek time Tab taken by the head to move from the first area to the second area of the recording medium, and a seek time Tba taken by the head to move from the second area to the first area of the recording medium are in a relation as follows: Ya + Yb ≧ Rp • Ra + Rb • Tab + Tba / Rp - Ra - Rb
摘要:
An optical disc record carrier having at least one wobbled groove that permits information recording on both groove and land tracks is provided. Each groove has a sync wobbling modulated with a continuous signal and an address wobbling. The address wobbling includes an address portion including address information of each sector. The address portion comprising presence of a first predetermined number of wobbles and absence of a second predetermined number of wobbles. The presence and absence correspond to respective logical values of binary system. The grooves and lands are substantially the same in width throughout and wobble in phase.
摘要:
An information recording medium includes a lead-in area and a data area for storing contents information. The lead-in area includes a first lead-in information area and a second lead-in information area. The first lead-in information area corresponds to a first playback mode. The second lead-in information area corresponds to a second playback mode different from the first playback mode. The first lead-in information area has a first depth and is designed for storing lead-in information related to the contents information stored in the data area. The second lead-in information area includes pre-pits having a depth greater then the first depth. The pre-pits represent predetermined information, such as information of copyright protection, related to the contents information stored in the data area.
