摘要:
Method for formatting, and managing a defective area of, a rewritable optical recording medium when a secondary defect list (SDL) is converted into a primary defect list (PDL) without certification by converting only sector numbers of first sectors of the defective blocks listed on the SDL into the PDL. If the defective sector thus listed of the PDL is encountered during writing/reading thereafter, a block (=16 sectors) containing the defective sector is subjected to slipping replacement.

A method and device for managing a recording medium including a non data area having a final defect management area and a data area having a user data area and a spare area. The method includes: (a) recording a defect list onto one or more recording-units of a temporary defect management area allocated to one of the non data area and the spare area, and recording position information of the defect list onto the temporary defect management area, the position information containing one or more defect list pointers which indicate position of the one or more recording-units containing the defect list; and (b) if a recoding-unit is defective, re-recording defect list data onto another recording-unit, and recording updated position information containing a defect list pointer indicating a position of the another recording-unit instead of a defect list pointer indicating a position of the defective recording-unit.

A method and apparatus for recording or reproducing data are discussed. According to an embodiment, the invention is directed to a method for recording data onto a recording medium having a recording layer, the recording layer including an inner area, a data area and an outer area, the data area having a user data area and a spare area, the user data area consisting of a plurality of clusters, the method comprising steps of: (a) recording a first data block having a temporary defect list for managing a defective area of the data area onto a temporary defect management area allocated in the inner area or the spare area; and (b) recording a second data block having a space bitmap onto the temporary defect management area.
摘要:
Disclosed is a write-once optical disc and method for managing a spare area thereof, the write-once optical disc possibly having a temporary defect management area within one or more spare areas. The method includes the steps of: allocating one or more spare areas including the temporary defect management area at an initial status of the optical disc; and during use of the optical disc, expanding the spare area allocated including the temporary defect management area to set a new spare area. By employing the above optical disc and method, it becomes possible to establish unified regulations on the structures of the spare area and temporary defect management area applicable to the write-once optical disc, so that usage efficiency of the optical disc can be improved.

摘要:
An optical disc of write once type, a method and an apparatus of managing defect information on the optical disc of write once type, e.g., a BD-WO, are provided with a temporary defect management area (TDMA). The method includes preparing the temporary defect management area (TDMA) in which a temporary defect list (TDFL) is recorded as defect management information for managing a defective area on the optical disc, recording the most recent temporary defect list cumulatively with the previous temporary defect list in the temporary defect management area, and recording position information for indicating a position of the most recent temporary defect list in the temporary defect management area along with the temporary defect list to more effectively manage the temporary defect list.
摘要:
A method and device for managing a recording medium including a non data area having a final defect management area and a data area having a user data area and a spare area. The method includes: (a) recording a defect list onto one or more recording-units of a temporary defect management area allocated to one of the non data area and the spare area, and recording position information of the defect list onto the temporary defect management area, the position information containing one or more defect list pointers which indicate position of the one or more recording-units containing the defect list; and (b) if a recoding-unit is defective, re-recording defect list data onto another recording-unit, and recording updated position information containing a defect list pointer indicating a position of the another recording-unit instead of a defect list pointer indicating a position of the defective recording-unit.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for managing a defective area on a optical recording medium, e.g., of writable once type, permits more efficient writing and management of defect list information or temporary defect list information for managing the defective area in a minimum recording size. The method includes writing data in a defective area existing on a high density optical disc, e.g., such as a BD-WO, in a spare area in place of the defective area, producing defect list information for access to the data replacement written in the spare area and writing in a particular area for defect management. The defect entries actually corresponding to the replacement written data, and writing location information of the next available spare area are written and managed as defect list information for management, or the writing location information of a location where replacement writing is possible is written and managed as defect definition structure information.
