Abstract:
First modification detection data is generated from the (compressed) video data. The video data is combined with the first modification detection data. The combined data is recorded on a recording medium. The read combined data is separated into the compressed video data and the first modification detection data. Second modification detection data is generated according to the separated compressed data. The separated first data modification detection data is compared with the second data modification detection data to detect data modification. Outputting expanded video data is controlled according to the comparing result. The recorded data may be copied on a removable disc. A data reproducing apparatus having the second modification detection data generation circuit and the comparing circuit reproduces the removable disc. The reproduced video data may be further processed by a watermark processing circuit to embed watermark data in the video data which are recorded on another removable disc. The compressed video data may be transmitted through a network with encrypting. Encrypting key data is exchanged between the data transmitting side and the receiving side for decrypting. Encrypted video data may be recorded or transmitted and the encrypting key is stored for decrypting or transmitted for decrypting.
Abstract:
Information is recorded on and reproduced from a disk ECC-block by ECC-block. Every ECC block is composed of plural sectors. A recording command is generated which contains information of a recording position on the disk. The information of the recording position is stored into a nonvolatile memory. Data is recorded on the disk in response to the recording command. In cases where power supply is turned on after interruption of power supply terminates, a specified ECC block is detected from the information stored in the nonvolatile memory. The specified ECC block is adversely affected by the interruption of power supply during the recording of data on the disk. One of a reproducing command and a verify command is generated for at least one sector of the specified ECC block. Data is reproduced from the specified ECC block on the disk in response to the one of the reproducing command and the verify command. A decision is made as to whether or not the reproduction of data from the specified ECC block succeeds or fails. In cases where it is decided that the reproduction of data from the specified ECC block fails, data is recorded on a whole of the specified ECC block to convert the specified ECC block into a normal ECC block.
Abstract:
Address groups are composed of two of address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19, where the address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19 are disposed in a sector address region 5 and include identifiable information of address numbers 13 and overlapping sequential numbers 14. The address groups are disposed so that each group is alternately shifted from a track center 2 toward the inner periphery side or the outer periphery side, by a width substantially equal to half the track pitch, along the radius direction.

Abstract:
A two-layer optical disk has a first layer of a disk shaped recording medium for storing data and a second layer of a disk shaped recording medium placed over the first layer for storing data. Data blocks A, B, C are stored in the first layer in said order. Similarly, data blocks X, Y, Z are stored in the second layer in said order. When reading the data from the two-layer optical disk, the data blocks are read in the order of A, X, B, Y, C, Z.
