A high-density multi-layer optical disc, a method for recording data thereon on a layer-by-layer basis, and a method for managing spare areas thereof. In a high-density multi-layer optical disc, having a plurality of recording layers formed thereon, such as a Blu-ray disc rewritable (BD-RE) dual layer, management information is recorded and managed appropriately to the multiple layers so that data can be recorded in a state where the recording layers are linked to each other or the recording layers are separated from each other. Inner and outer spare areas are separately assigned to each of the recording layers formed on the high-density multi-layer optical disc. The management information is recorded and managed appropriately to the multiple layers so that the data can be recorded in a state where the spare areas of the recording layers or used together irrespective of the recording layers or used separately on the layer-by-layer basis. The recording layers can be effectively used and managed, and the spare areas separately assigned to the respective recording layers can be effectively used and managed.

A high-density multi-layer optical disc and a method for managing layer formatting thereof. A high-density multi-layer optical disc such as a Blu-ray disc rewritable (BD-RE) dual layer includes management information, additionally recorded in a lead-in area, needed for identifying formatting status of a plurality of recording layers. After the management information is referred to, at least one unformatted recording layer is automatically formatted. Optionally, the unformatted recording layer is formatted on the basis of a formatting method selected by a user. The multiple recording layers formed on the high-density multi-layer optical disc can be conveniently and effectively formatted.
摘要:
A high-density read-only optical disc, and an optical disc apparatus and method using the same. The apparatus and method record data on a lead-in area of a high-density read-only optical disc such as a BD-ROM (Blu-ray disc ROM (Read Only Memory)) in the form of pre-pit strings associated with an HFM (High-Frequency Modulated) groove applied to a BD-RW (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable). Moreover, the apparatus and method continuously apply the same tracking servo operation to an entire area of the same high-density read-only optical disc or rewritable optical disc. Therefore, the apparatus and method can simplify an algorithm for controlling a plurality of tracking servo operations, and avoid an increased size of the optical disc apparatus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of recording addresses onto a high-density read-only recording medium and a high-density read-only recording medium containing addresses recorded thereby. In a high-density read-only recording medium in accordance with the present invention, data is recorded in a plurality of recording blocks wherein each block is composed of a Run-in, a physical cluster in which a part of the data has been written after being ECC-formatted and modulated, and a Run-out, and each block has its address in its Run-in and/or Run-out.
摘要:
In one embodiment, the method includes generating version information including a first version information and a second version information. At least one of the first version information and the second version information is to determine a backward compatibility with respect to reading or writing of the recording medium. The version information is recorded on a specific area of the recording medium.
摘要:
A recording medium equipped with recording/reproducing control information, and a method and apparatus for controlling the recording medium using the control information are disclosed. The recording medium includes: a data area in which data is recorded; and a management area in which control information is recorded, wherein the management area includes a plurality of first control information units equipped with the control information and a plurality of second control information units, the second control information unit being formed by grouping at least one first control information units among the plurality of first control information units, and the control information includes information indicating the number of consecutive second control information units among the plurality of second control information units. Therefore, the recording medium can be effectively controlled.
摘要:
A recording medium, and a method and apparatus for recording data in the recording medium are disclosed. The recording medium including at least two record layers, each of which includes an inner area, a data area, and an outer area, includes; at least one Optimum Power Control (OPC) area contained in at least one of the inner and outer areas, wherein respective OPC areas contained in neighboring record layers are not arranged at the physically same positions with respect to optical beam. Therefore, data can be effectively recorded in the recording medium.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for recording data in a recording medium are disclosed. The method for recording data in a recording medium including a wobble-shaped test area includes the steps of a) determining a pre-used test area, b) searching for a current OPC start position of the test area by counting the number of wobbles at a wobble-count reference position, c) performing an Optimum Power Control (OPC) process to calculate an optimum write power at the OPC start position, and d) recording data in a data area using the calculated the optimum write power. Therefore, the recording medium can be applied to a method for manufacturing a BD, and a disc test process and data recording/reproducing operations can be effectively performed.
