摘要:
An attempt is made to make it possible to efficiently perform the finalizing process and closing process in a short period of time and securely manage the last address of a border-out. When the border closing or finalizing process is performed after user data is recorded, a padding process is performed for at least a discontinuous area in the data area and a border-out is lastly recorded in a first step. Then, in a second step, latest recording management data (RMD) is recorded in a recording management data duplication zone (RDZ) of a data lead-in area, latest recording management data (RMD) is recorded in an unrecorded area of a present recording management zone (RMZ) and R physical format information (R-PFI) is recorded in an R physical format information zone (R-PFIZ).

摘要:
In order to select the latest defect management information, the latest selection information first is selected by searching a plurality of selection information areas for a currently active selection information area in which the latest selection information is recorded and subsequently the latest defect management information is obtained by searching a plurality of defect management areas for a currently active defect management area in which the latest defect management information is recorded. If there is no unused defect management area in which defect management information can be alternatively recorded in lieu of the currently active defect management area, recording operation is limited.
摘要:
Reproduced signals are equalized by the least square technique by using a predetermined number of data samples binarized by a Viterbi decoder. Even when data written on an optical disk is unknown, the data can be equalized in a stable manner and can be reproduced at a low error rate without instability factors such as divergence due to interference.

An optical disk medium in which a learning area can be expanded, an optical disk information recording method and an optical disk apparatus are provided. A first lead-in area and second lead-in area are provided on the inner side and outer side of a data area. The first lead-in area includes a first learning area, management information recording area and data connection area and the second lead-in area includes a protection area which protects the user data in the inner portion thereof and a second learning area which is provided on the outer side of the protection area and sets an optimum condition for an operation of recording data into the data area. An area in which information indicating the utilization state of the protection area is recorded is prepared in one of the management information recording area and data connection area.
摘要:
This invention relates to a reproduced signal evaluation method of evaluating a reproduced signal reproduced from an information recording medium in which information composed of a plurality of codes differing in length is recorded and evaluates the reproduced signal on the basis of the reproduced signal of the next shortest code after the shortest code reproduced from the information recording medium.
