摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer-readable recording medium are disclosed, for recording information in an information recording medium. The method includes a first step of outputting, in response to an initialization request for initializing the information recording medium, termination information indicative of termination of the initialization before the initialization starts, and a second step of starting the initialization at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information. In this procedure, it is possible to start to record data in a blank disc sooner than in conventional methods.

A disk-shaped rewritable information recording medium having at a first recording layer and a second recording layer is disclosed. The information recording medium includes a first data area situated in the first recording layer, the first data area having a plurality of addresses allocated thereto, the plural addresses continuously increasing in a first direction, a second data area situated in the second recording layer, the second data area having a plurality of addresses allocated thereto, the plural addresses continuously increasing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a management information area having an area for recording end recorded area information thereto, the end recorded area information including information for identifying an area in the second data area having data that corresponds to an end position of the second data area.
摘要:
A data storage apparatus, which can format a recording medium in the background, that verifies data written in a designated region of the recording medium if the designated region has not yet been certified in the background, and writes the data in an alterative region of the recording medium if the designated region is found defective. Since the data storage apparatus either certifies the designated region of the recording medium or verifies the data written in the designated region, the data storage apparatus can enhance the reliability of the data written in the recording medium, but the data storage apparatus does not waste time by verifying the designated region of the recording medium two times or more.
摘要:
An apparatus for processing information is disclosed. The apparatus requests for recording of user data into an information-recording apparatus for recording in an information-recording medium having multiple recording layers, each of the layers having a data area for recording the user data. The medium has a first recording layer to be a reference for determining a position of the data area in each of the recording layers, and a second recording layer excluding the first recording layer.

摘要:
An optical disk having a dual layer layout includes two recording layers each having a data area for recording information. An optical information recording apparatus handles the two data areas of the two recording layers of the optical disk as a single continuous data area and divides the continuous data area into plural divided areas such as sessions and fragments. The optical information recording apparatus then records data on each of the sessions or fragments corresponding to the divided areas.
摘要:
A recording apparatus includes a first power supply having a first output voltage, a second power supply having a second output voltage different from the first output voltage, and a recording circuit for recording input digital data on a recording medium selectively using the first power supply or the second power supply. The recording circuit selectively uses the first power supply or the second power supply in accordance with a state of the input digital data. It is thereby possible to reduce power consumption in the circuitry of the apparatus during recording.
