Abstract:
A method of recording data on an optical disk, wherein the recording data are in form of a synchronizing block comprises at least main data and a synchronizing signal, said method comprising:arranging a plurality of said synchronizing blocks to form a sector, said sector containing a sector address which is a number that is unique relative to each other sector address;arranging a plurality of said sectors to form an error correction block;adding a synchronizing signal to each of said synchronizing blocks, a synchronizing signal of said synchronizing block which contains a first position of the sector address being different from a synchronizing signal of all synchronizing blocks within the sector which do not include said first position of the sector address, and the synchronizing signal of the synchronizing block which contains said first position of the sector address being the same as a synchronizing signal of a synchronizing block in another sector which includes the first position of a sector address of said other sector; andrecording each sector, which is in the form of a matrix, in a sequence beginning at the highest synchronizing block and ending with the lowest synchronizing block.
