Recording medium, recording device, reproduction device, recording method, and reproduction method

A recording medium that is a write-once recording medium with data rewritability, thereby increasing the usability of the write-once recording medium, is provided. In a write-once recording medium, a main data area has a normal record and playback sub-area (a user data section), a rewriting replacement sub-area (an OSA), and a replacement management sub-area (an ISA). In response to a request to write data to an address at which data has been recorded, the rewritten data is recorded in the rewriting replacement sub-area (the OSA), and replacement management information that associates the original address with the address in the rewriting replacement sub-area is recorded into the replacement management sub-area (the ISA). Thus, data rewriting is achieved. Accordingly, a write-once recording medium can be substantially used as a data rewritable recording medium.

Information recording medium, information recording device and method, information recording control program, and recording medium containing the information recording control program

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 information recording medium contains version information indicating to which version of the recording specification the information recording medium corresponds. Moreover, the medium contains standard recording condition information for recording information at a standard speed and high-speed recording condition information for recording information at a higher speed. An information recording device compares the version information on the information recording medium to the version information of the information recording device side to judge whether information recording is enabled. When it is judged that information recording is disabled according to the version information .

Recording medium, recording and reproduction apparatus, and recording and reproduction method

In a rewritable recording medium, in which the opposite track path is adopted, having a plurality of recording layers, the confirmation of the formation of a middle area is made to be faster and easier. Within a predetermined management information area (e.g., lead-in) of a disc, intermediate-area management information (middle status) indicating whether or not a guard intermediate area (middle area) whose one end is the inter-layer transition position (inter-layer loopback address) which is determined according to the recording of user data is recorded. As a result, it is possible for a recording and reproduction apparatus to determine whether or not the middle area needs to be formed on the basis of the value of the intermediate-area management information.

Apparatus and method for re-executing pre-pit detection if pre-pits are not detected after changing reference level

InactiveUS6891784B2Information records are accurateTelevision system detailsFilamentary/web record carriersLight beamPush pull
An information recording / reproducing apparatus irradiates a light beam on an optical disc on which pre-pits are formed, and performs recording and / or reproduction of information with respect to the optical disc according to a recording clock produced based on a wobble signal and a pre-pit signal. When recording information onto the optical disc having the pre-pits, a light beam is radiated to thereby extract the wobble signal and pre-pit signal. Then, according to the wobble signal and the pre-pit signal, a recording clock signal is produced, and information is recorded based on the recording clock signal. When producing a pre-pit signal, a push-pull signal is produced from the reflected light from the optical disc, and this signal is compared with a reference level to thereby detect a pre-pit. Here, when a pre-pit is not detected, the reference level is changed and the detection processing of the pre-pits is executed again.

Recording medium for storing write protection information and write protection method thereof

A recording medium storing a write protection information, and a write protection method for protecting data recorded on a recordable and / or rewritable disc from unwanted overwriting or erasing. In order for write protection of a disc in a bare state that is usually used in a cartridge having a recognition switch for write-protection, such as a DVD-RAM, write protection information is recorded in a Lead-in area, a Lead-out area or a recording information area other than a user data area of the disc, and the data is protected from unwanted overwriting or erasing using the write protection information. Also, even though the write protection information stored on a disc does not match the state of a recognition switch of a case for write-protection, the data can be prevented from unwanted overwriting or erasing. Thus, the write protection can be ensured when a recordable and / or rewritable recording medium, such as DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD-RW, is used in a bare state.
