Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a storage unit configured to store information data into a memory; a write unit configured to read the information data stored in the memory and to write the read information data onto a disk-type recording medium by irradiating the disk-type recording medium with a beam in accordance with the information data; and a control unit configured to, upon an amount of information data stored in the memory reaching a threshold, instruct the write unit to start writing of the information data, wherein in response to the instruction from the control unit to start writing, the write unit reads the information data stored in the memory and writes the read information data onto the disk-type recording medium, wherein after writing of the information data starts, upon the amount of information data stored in the memory decreasing to a predetermined value, the write unit stops reading of the information data from the memory and stops writing of the information data onto the disk-type recording medium, and wherein the control unit sets a value of the threshold in accordance with the number of times the write unit has performed writing of the information data.
