Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: an input unit configured to input information data; a memory configured to store the input information data; a writing unit configured to write the information data on a recording medium having a first recording layer and a second recording layer, the writing unit selecting one of the first recording layer and the second recording layer and writing the information data in the selected recording layer, the writing unit reading the information data from the memory and writing the information data read from the memory in the selected recording layer of the recording medium in response to an amount of the information data stored in the memory reaching a threshold, and the writing unit being arranged to change a writing position of the information data in the first recording layer to a writing position in the second recording layer, in response to the recording position of the information data in the first recording layer reaching a predetermined switching position in the first recording layer; a control unit configured to change the threshold from a first threshold to a second threshold smaller than the first threshold in response to the writing position of the information data in the first recording layer reaching a position determined relatedly to the switching position.
