Abstract:
Medio óptico de grabación de información (100) que comprende: una pluralidad de capas de grabación (104, 102); y un área de información del disco (111, 107) que presenta un área para almacenar información relacionada con el disco, en el que el área de información del disco (111; 107) está prevista en una primera capa de grabación (104), que es una de la pluralidad de las capas de grabación, y una segunda capa de grabación (102), que es otra de la pluralidad de las capas de grabación, caracterizado porque se graban unos datos ficticios (1100) en el área restante del área de información del disco, y porque la longitud del área para almacenar los datos ficticios (1100) es un múltiplo entero de la longitud del área para almacenar la información del disco.
Abstract:
A multi-layered information recording medium comprising a plurality of recording layers, a user data area for recording user data, provided in at least two of the plurality of recording layers, and a defect list storing area for storing a defect list. When at least one defective area is detected in the user data area, the defect list is used to manage the at least one defective area. The defect list storing area is provided in only one of the plurality recording layers.
Abstract:
When a recording capacity of an optical disc is increased, the increased part of the addresses cannot be represented by the number of bits used for representing the address information of a conventional optical disc. Hence, an address format capable of representing the increased part of the addresses while being compatible with the conventional address format with the same number of bits is proposed. In an optical disc according to the present invention, a track on which data is recordable is divided into a plurality of blocks, and each block includes L pieces of sub blocks. On each sub block, M-bit first digital information specifying a block address of a block including the each sub block and N-bit second digital information capable of representing a numerical value equal to or larger than L are recorded. Where a value of the block address is smaller than a threshold value, the second digital information represents a value specifying a number pre-assigned to the each sub block; whereas where the value of the block address is equal to or larger than the threshold value, the second digital information represents a value other than the value specifying the number pre-assigned to the each sub block. Or, where the value of the block address is equal to or larger than the threshold value, the second digital information represents the value specifying the number pre-assigned to the each sub block; whereas where the value of the block address is smaller than the threshold value, the second digital information represents a value other than the value specifying the number pre-assigned to the each sub block.
