摘要:
An information recording medium including a plurality of sectors of the present invention includes: a first spare area including a spare sector for replacing a defective sector among the plurality of sectors; a defect management information area for managing the replacement of the defective sector by the spare sector; and a volume space in which user data can be recorded. The volume space is configured so that a second spare area including a spare sector for replacing a defective sector among the plurality of sectors can be additionally allocated. Location information indicating a location of the second spare area is recorded in the defect management information area.

Information recording media 101 and 102 usable for either a first recording density D1 or a second recording density D2 each include a user data area 106 in which user data is to be recorded, a first defect management information area 108 in which first defect management information for managing a defect area in the user data area is to be recorded, and a second defect management information area 109 in which second defect management information having an identical content to that of the first defect management information is to be recorded. The first and second defect management information areas 108 and 109 are located such that angles θ1 and θ2 made by start blocks thereof fulfill the relationships of 150°≦θ1≦210° and 150°≦θ2≦210° (θ1: in the case of the first recording density, and θ2: in the case of the second recording density).

An information recording medium is provided, which comprises a plurality of recording layers and a first disc information area for storing parameters relating to access to the plurality of recording layers and formats relating to the plurality of recording layers. The first disc information area is provided in a first recording layer which is one of the plurality of recording layers.
摘要:
Provided is an information recording/reproduction apparatus including: a recording request receiving unit for receiving a recording request for recording information on an information recording medium including two or more recording layers; and a recording unit for recording the information by, limiting the number of recording layers including an area with information recorded thereon to a predetermined value N (N≧0) or less with respect to other recording layers in which the light passes therethrough until light reaches an unrecorded area of a recording layer as a recording target. According to this configuration, it is possible to guarantee the recording quality of a multilayered information recording medium.

摘要:
A reproduction apparatus is provided for reproducing information recorded on an information recording medium. The information recording medium includes a data area for recording user data; and a defect management area for recording a defect list for managing N number of defect areas existing in the data area, where N is an integer number satisfying N≧0. The defect list includes two or more blocks and a header located at a fixed position in the defect list. The defect list further includes N number of defect entries, located subsequent to the header, including position information on the respective positions of the N number of defect areas; and an anchor located subsequent to the defect entries.
