A recording medium comprises pairs of groove tracks and land tracks provided side by side while being bent periodically, a plurality of land prepits previously formed on the land tracks and carrying information about the groove tracks, and a recording layer formed on at least the groove tracks and the land tracks. The land prepits have a radius of a curvature smaller than a radius of a curvature of sides of the groove tracks in land-prepit absent regions of the land prepits and are defined by curved surfaces continuously extending from the sides of the groove tracks. Those sides of the groove tracks which face the continuous curved surfaces of the land prepits are curved surfaces that stricture the groove tracks.

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 optical disc capable of repeated recording, such as a DVD−RW, is applicable. An information recording and reproducing apparatus starts recording by making a sync pattern of recording data correspond to a recording reference position determined by an LPP formed on the disc at the time of recording new data on the disc. Afterward, the apparatus continues the recording by gradually shifting a position of the sync pattern of the recording data with respect to the recording reference position, and performs the recording with a shift quantity fixed to the predetermined shift quantity when the shift quantity thereof reaches a quantity equal to or larger than a predetermined quantity. Thereby, at a rewriting portion on the optical disc, the shift between recorded data and a recording start position of recording data for rewriting can be small, and establishing synchronization at the time of reproducing or rewriting can be stably performed.

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.
