摘要:
A write-once disc includes: a plurality of update areas in which a predetermined kind of updated information is recorded; at least one main access information area in which main access information is recorded, the main access information indicating a final update area in which finally updated information is recorded among the plurality of update areas; and at least one sub access information area in which sub access information is recorded, the sub access information indicating a location of the finally updated information recorded in the final update area. Accordingly, an access time for reading a predetermined kind of information required to use the write-once disc can be reduced.

A method and apparatus for recording and/or reproducing data, and a write-once information storage medium. The write-once information storage medium includes at least one data area for recording user data and at least one recording management data (RMD) area for recording recording management data needed to use the at least one data area by dividing the at least one data area into a plurality of borders when recording the user data in a sequential recording mode and/or a random recording mode in the at least one data area. If RMD is recorded on the write-once information storage medium and the data area is divided into a plurality of borders and/or recording zones, data can be recorded on the write-once information storage medium in a sequential recording mode or a random recording mode. Therefore, the write-once information storage medium can be used with enhanced ease and efficiency.

A method and apparatus for recording and/or reproducing data, and a write-once information storage medium, the write-once information storage medium includes at least one data area for recording user data and at least one recording management data (RMD) area for recording RMD needed to use the at least one data area by dividing the at least one data area into a plurality of borders when recording the user data in a sequential recording mode in the at least one data area. The RMD is recorded on the write-once information storage medium and then used. When recording data on the write-once information storage medium in a sequential recording mode, a data area may be divided into a plurality of borders and/or recording zones. Thus, the write-once information storage medium can be used with enhanced ease and efficiency.

An information recording medium, a recording and/or reproducing method, and a recording and/or reproducing apparatus. The recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes: a writing and/or reading unit which records data on and/or reads data from the information recording medium including a lead-in area, a data area including a user data area in which user data is recorded and a spare area in which replacement data updating the user data is recorded, and a lead-out area; and a controller which reads replacement enforcement flag information indicating a status of logical overwriting according to which the replacement data is recorded in the spare area from one of the lead-in area and the lead-out area and controls the writing and/or reading unit to update the user data with reference to the replacement enforcement flag information.
摘要:
A method of recording, and an apparatus for recording, data on a write-once disc, and the write-once disc used with the method and the apparatus. The write-once disc includes a plurality of update areas in which to record a predetermined type of updated information, at least one main access information area (AIA) in which to record main access information (AI), the main AI indicating a final update area in which finally updated information is recorded, among the plurality of update areas, and at least one sub AIA in which to record sub AI, the sub AI indicating a location of the finally updated information recorded in the final update area.
摘要:
A computer readable medium, apparatus, and method for efficiently managing a space bitmap. A computer readable medium includes: a user data area on which user data is recorded; and a temporary disc management area on which a space bitmap indicating a recording status of recording and reproducing unit blocks of the user data area is recorded. The space bitmap includes header information for distinguishing an additional space bitmap from the space bitmap. The additional space bitmap is assigned when a space provided for the space bitmap is insufficient to represent the recording status of the recording and reproducing unit blocks of the user data area.
摘要:
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus, a recording and/or reproducing method, and an information storage medium, wherein the recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes: a writing and/or reading unit writing data to or reading data from an information storage medium having one or more information recording layers; and a control unit controlling the writing and/or reading unit to write the data to the information storage medium by referring to one or more disk information structures including recording related parameter information corresponding to recording characteristics of the information storage medium, and recording characteristic information to which the recording related parameters are applied. According to the apparatus and method, parameters of recording characteristics appropriate to a recording and/or reproducing apparatus and compatibility between different specifications can be achieved.
摘要:
An information recording medium, and a recording/reproducing apparatus and a recording/reproducing method for the recording medium. Original data is sequentially updated by replacing an original recording block with one or more replacement recording blocks. A replacement recording block includes at least one of an original address field indicating a location of the original recording block or a previous address field indicating a location of an immediately previous recording block. Replacement information is effectively recovered in a system where a replacement for logical overwriting (LOW) occurs in either a spare area and a user data area by reference to the address fields in each replacement recording block.

An apparatus and method for recording and/or reproducing data on a disc are provided using padding information, and a corresponding information storage medium. The recording method includes recording a recording unit block in which invalid data is padded in part of the block and recording padding information indicating that the invalid data is included. According to the method, a disc drive becomes able to distinguish valid data from invalid data in an error correction block such that reliability of reproduction increases and stability of the system is improved.
