摘要:
The amount of light reflected from a disk is detected, and it is determined according to the amount of reflected light whether the disk is a recordable disk or a rewritable disk. The disk is controlled according to the result of determination such that it is rotated at a constant angular velocity (CAV) or at a constant linear velocity (CLV) and recording is executed. Further, rotation driving control of the disk is selected according to factors other than the type of the disk, such as according to whether random recording is allowed or not, according to a recording state in the disk, according to whether an alternative area is provided or not, according to a recording start position, or according to whether initialization is required or not. CLV control or CAV control is appropriately selected for a disk at recording to suppress a reduction in accessibility and a reduction in data transmission rate.

Physical addresses of the recording areas provided on an optical disc are represented in a time-axis data format and in a binary data format. The physical address value gradually increases from the inner part of the disc to the outer part of the disc, while the formats remain in one-to-one correspondence over the recording areas. The distance the optical head must move to reach a target recording area can therefore be calculated easily independently of where on the disc the optical head is located, enabling the optical head to quickly access the target recording area.

A data recording medium having an address-representing portion formed of a predetermined number of bits for representing time information composed of minutes, seconds, and frames in a binary coded decimal notation, wherein addresses represented in a binary notation instead of the binary coded decimal notation are placed in the address-representing portion.

The requested data is read from a DVD disk by interruption in ST46. Then, the ID information for indicating the leading end of the data, and the result of the identification by use of the EDC for indicating whether or not the data is correct are stored in ST47. When the disk is identified as a DVD-video disk and the flag is set in ST 48, and also when the number of times N of retries is identified as being larger than NR in ST50 and the read data is not identified as control data in ST51, data transmission is performed. When no flag is set, the disk identification is performed based on whether or not the data at a predetermined position on the logical format has predetermined data in ST49. When it is identified that an error has been detected in ST52 and also when the number of times N of retries becomes larger than NS in ST53, the occurrence of an error is announced.
摘要:
Data is recorded on packet basis to a track of an optical recording medium and the data is pseudo-erased by erasing contents information of the track having the data. Information indicating the end position of the packet containing the data is recorded on the optical recording medium and a new data is recorded to the track where the data has been pseudo-erased in accordance with the information indicating the end position of the packet.

摘要:
An absolute time area is expanded by using an area of relatively low importance such as zero-data area and/or relative time area or the like in a Q channel in a sub-code in a recording format of a CD. Thus, an absolute time expression which can cope with a disc having a large capacity or the like can be performed. An absolute time expression is performed in a manner such that a digit of “100 minutes” is BCD expressed by using lower 4 bits in the 8-bit zero-data area ZERO. Thus, the absolute time of up to 999min59sec74frame can be expressed. A digit of “hour” is also expressed by using the lower 4 bits in the zero-data area. For example, identification information showing that a disc is a high density optical disc of large capacity is expressed by using the upper 4 bits in the zero-data area ZERO.
摘要:
A data record medium on which a digital signal has been recorded in which the digital signal is composed of main data and a sub code, the sub code having time information representing reproduction elapsed time, and the sub code being recorded in association with the main data, wherein information that represents the reproduction elapsed time of the sub code is represented with a binary coded decimal number and address information in synchronization with the time information of the main data is represented with a binary number, the address information being contained in the main data.
