摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide an optical recording/reproducing apparatus capable of improving medium usability through a laser power adjusting process while keeping compatibility with a read only type medium. The optical recording/reproducing apparatus adjusts laser power using a PCA till the PCA is used up. After the PCA is used up, an additional area is reserved at the outermost circumference position, thereafter when the additional area is used up, a new additional area is reserved at an inner circumference side of the used up additional area to adjust laser power. The additional area is reserved at an outer circumference than a lead-out area, and therefore format compatibility with a read only type optical disc can be maintained. The additional area is reserved only when the PCA is used up, thus capacity compatibility with a read only type optical disc can be maintained while laser power is adjusted with only the PCA.
摘要:
A read only disc according to the present invention has a spiral recording track formed on the surface thereof. The recording track includes a plurality of record unit blocks formed continuously by an optical recording method, wherein each record unit block includes a dubbing permitted area and a dubbing inhibited area. Digital audio information having data compressed is recorded in the dubbing permitted area. On the other hand, display data associated with the digital audio information is recorded in the dubbing inhibited area. Thus, digital dubbing of digital audio information can be carried out and dubbing of display data is prevented to ensure dominance of the read only disc as a master software.
摘要:
In an optical disk recording method of recording data onto a recordable optical disk which includes a data zone where data is recorded and a management data zone where management data indicating the recorded part of the data zone is recorded, an extended management data zone in which the management data is to be recorded is set in the data zone in response to an extension instruction.
