摘要:
An information recording apparatus 110 includes a defect list update section 122 for updating a defect list having a defect address registered therein which represents a position of a defect area existing in a user area, and a recording section 113 for recording information on the information recording medium 130 based on the updated defect list. The defect list update section 122 determines whether or not an area designated by the defect address registered in the defect list is a defect area; and when the area designated by the defect address is determined not to be a defect area, the defect list update section 122 deletes the defect address, registered in the defect list, from the defect list.
摘要:
An information recording medium comprises a user area, and a spare area including a replacement area, wherein the replacement area may be used instead of a defective area in the user area. The user area and the spare area include a plurality of sectors. Each of the plurality of sectors includes a user data area for recording user data, and an attribute data area for recording defect replacement allowance attribute data. The defect replacement allowance attribute data indicates whether recording of the user data has been executed in a state that the execution of a defect replacement process is allowed. In the defect replacement process, the defective area in the user area is replaced with the replacement area in the spare area.

Even when a data area and a spare area are procured on a recording medium in advance, performs a replacement process for the replacement area only under specific cases where recording for the data area is impossible, so that the recording areas can be efficiently utilized.The recording medium includes a data area and a spare area. The data area is composed of one or more unit areas each having an address assigned thereto. A recording apparatus includes: a processing section for designating an address of a unit area within the data area; and a control section for recording data in a unit area of the designated address. The processing section determines whether data is recorded in a unit area of a first address or not, and depending on a result of determination, designates either the first address or a second address which is within the same data area. If recording of the data to the designated address has failed, the control section records the data to the spare area.

An additionally recordable information recording medium has a complicated management structure for managing an unrecorded area. Therefore, there are problems that it takes a long time for a disk to startup and it is difficult to build a recording/reproducing system. The additionally recordable information recording medium according to the present invention includes a simple data structure for managing a location information for a recorded area located at the rearmost location in a user data area. An additionally recordable apparatus according to the present invention also includes means for updating the location information of the recorded area so that the recorded area located at the rearmost location in the user data area is always managed.

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).
摘要:
An information recording apparatus is provided with a recording controller for recording data on an information recording medium, a verification controller for verifying whether or not the recorded data can be correctly reproduced, a continuous recording controller for providing a gap region of a specified interval between a verification region and a recording region and successively performing a verify processing and a record processing with rotation waiting in between, an error region discriminator for discriminating an error region in the event of an error in the process of performing the verify processing and the record processing, and an error processor for performing an error processing according to the error region. The error processor performs an error processing different from the one performed when an error occurred in either one of the verification region and the recording region if an error is discriminated to have occurred in the gap region. By this construction, a recording time is shortened and it is prevented that data cannot be recorded on the information recording medium.
摘要:
A recording method for recording, on a write once type information recording medium, management information representing a recording state of the write once type information recording medium is provided. The information recording medium includes data including a first synchronization signal. The information recording medium has a second synchronization signal pre-recorded by cutting. The recording method includes the steps of (a) performing a recording operation for recording the management information at a predetermined position of the information recording medium based on the first synchronization signal; (b) determining whether the recording operation in step (a) is normally terminated or not; and (c) when the recording operation in step (a) is not normally terminated, performing a recording operation for recording the management information at the predetermined position of the information recording medium based on the second synchronization signal.
