On a record medium, record information and reservation information to perform a reserved recording operation for the record information are recorded. The reservation information has: a scheduled time to start recording onto the record medium the record information of particular one kind, which is set in advance for respective one of record mediums including the record medium, among the record information of a plurality of different kinds which are recordable on the one record mediums; and a scheduled time to stop recording onto the record medium the record information of the particular one kind.

An object of the invention is to provide an optical disc in which the influence of recording interference is reduced to make it possible to narrow the interval between adjacent recording tracks and increase the recording density of information. The optical disc comprises a substrate 1 on which the grooves G are formed, a reflecting layer 2 for reflecting an optical beam, a recording layer 3, and a cover layer 5 for protecting the recording layer 3, in which the cover layer 5, the recording layer 3, the reflecting layer 2 and the substrate 1 are disposed in this order from the side where the optical beam is applied, and the thickness of the recording layer 3 formed in an area opposed to the groove G and forming a recording track TR is greater than the thickness of the recording layer 3 formed in an area opposed to an area on the substrate 1 between two adjacent grooves G.

摘要:
On a recording medium, the version information indicating a version of the recording standard to which the information recording medium is adapted is recorded. Moreover, the normal recording condition information for recording information at a normal recording speed and the high speed recording condition information for recording the information at a higher recording speed than the normal recording speed are recorded. The recording condition information includes, for example, information about a write strategy for driving a laser light source. At the time of recording, the information recording device compares the version information on the information recording medium with the version information of the information recording device so as to judge whether or not the information can be recorded. When the judgment is made that the information cannot be recorded based on the version information, further the compatibility version information is compared with the version information of the information recording device so that a judgment is made as to whether or not the information can be recorded. In such a manner, the judgment can be properly made as to whether or not the recording can be executed on the information recording medium.

An apparatus for recording information on a recordable optical disc by applying a light beam on the surface thereof, the disc includes a first recording area on which information is recorded and reproduced while the disc is rotated at a first linear velocity; and a second recording area on which information is recorded and reproduced while the disc is rotated at a second linear velocity. The first recording area includes a test recording area. The apparatus includes recording power determining unit for determining first optimum recording power for recording information on the first area by a test recording utilizing the test recording area, and for determining second optimum recording power for recording information on the second area by multiplying the first optimum recording power by a predetermined constant.
