Abstract:
1. A data recording method for recording data in a write-once type recording medium capable of pseudo overwrite, comprising: determining whether there is data to be recorded in the write-once type recording medium or not; determining whether or not the data is to be recorded from a next writable address showing a boundary between a recorded area and an unrecorded area, when it is determined that there is the data to be recorded in the write-once type recording medium; recording the data from the next writable address, when it is determined that the data is to be recorded from the next writable address; suspending the recording of the data, when it is determined that the data is not to be recorded from the next writable address; repeating the above steps while there is the data to be recorded in the write-once type recording medium; and recording the suspended data, when it is determined that there is no data to be recorded in the write-once type recording medium.
