    Abstract: The amount of light reflected from a disk is detected, and it is determined according to the amount of reflected light whether the disk is a recordable disk or a rewritable disk. The disk is controlled according to the result of determination such that it is rotated at a constant angular velocity (CAV) or at a constant linear velocity (CLV) and recording is executed. Further, rotation driving control of the disk is selected according to factors other than the type of the disk, such as according to whether random recording is allowed or not, according to a recording state in the disk, according to whether an alternative area is provided or not, according to a recording start position, or according to whether initialization is required or not. CLV control or CAV control is appropriately selected for a disk at recording to suppress a reduction in accessibility and a reduction in data transmission rate.

    Abstract: A difference/compression ratio calculating means 76 in a data processing means 71 of a data transmitting apparatus according to the present invention calculates an actual difference and an actual compression ratio based on the data length of pre-compression data received from a data source 2 through pre-compression data receiving means 74 and the data length of compressed data outputted from a data compression circuit 67. If the actual difference is equal to or greater than a preset difference a and the actual compression ratio is equal to and greater than a preset compression ratio .beta., then the compressed data is transmitted to a data destination 3 through a transfer request data output means 79. Otherwise, the pre-compression data is transmitted to the data destination 3. With this arrangement, it is possible to prevent a phenomenon in which the size of compressed data which occupies a storage area in the data destination 3 is substantially the same as the size of uncompressed data which occupies the storage area, and also to avoid wasteful data expansion in the data destination 3.

    Abstract: If there is any portion in channel bit data obtained on converting a signal read out from a recording medium into a bilevel signal which fails to satisfy a condition concerning a minimum run length or a maximum run length of the same symbol, the channel bit data is corrected to improve the bit error rate to secure a skew margin. To this end, channel bit data not satisfying a minimum run length d' of the same symbol is detected by a (d'-1) detector 4 using n-tupled clocks obtained on n-tupling channel clocks of playback data by a bit clock generator 2, where n is an integer not less than 2. A correction position of the channel bit data having the run length of the same symbol equal to (d'-1) is designated by a correction bit position designating unit 5. A data correction unit 6 then corrects the channel bit data so that the minimum run length of the same symbol will be equal to d'.

    Abstract: The present invention facilitates identification of whether or not an optical disc is a optical disc of which recording capacity is enlarged. A synchronization pattern of ATIP information embedded into guide grooves irradiated with a light spot is made to be different between a high density optical disc and a standard density optical disc of which recording capacity is not enlarged. Specifically, while the synchronization pattern of the standard density optical disc is preferably made into "3T+1T+1T+3T" (where "T" represents a minimum channel bit of a signal obtained by reading a positional information), the synchronization pattern of the high density optical disc is preferably made into "3T+3T+1T+1T" for example. By reading the ATIP information and recognizing the synchronization pattern thereof, it can be easily and quickly identified whether the optical disc has a standard density or a high density.
