This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/883,667 filed on Jul. 6, 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. This application also claims the benefit of Korean Applications No. 10-2003-0045825 filed on Jul. 7, 2003; No. 10-2003-0056540 filed on Aug. 14, 2003; and No. 10-2003-0061785 filed on Sep. 4, 2003, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Technological specifications are now being established for the global standardization of the Blu-ray disc, including standards for a write-once Blu-ray disc (BD-WO). Meanwhile, a rewritable Blu-ray disc, known as 1× speed BD-RE and now under discussed should be compatible with BD-RE discs expected to have higher writing speed, i.e., 2× speed BD-RE and beyond. BD-WO specifications for high writing speed are also in progress. Efficient solutions for coping with the high writing speed of a high-density optical disc are urgently needed, and the specifications established should ensure mutual compatibility.
Hence, in adopting the CAV system, a recording is performed at about 2.4× speed on the outer circumference and at 1× speed on the inner circumference. For example, the recording is performed on the inner circumference at 4× speed, whereas performed on the outer circumference at about 9.6× speed. Since there exists a big difference between the recording velocities of the inner and outer circumferences of the disc, it is necessary to select an optimal recording velocity and write strategy (WS) to be applied to each location of the disc to perform a recording thereon. Hence, the CAV method needs definitions for about three kinds of linear velocities (writing speed) such as 1× linear velocity, 1.7× linear velocity, and 2.4× linear velocity, which can be called ‘one type recording velocity group’. And, a write strategy (WS) for each of the defined recording velocities should be recorded within disc information.
In BD-RE/WO, ‘one cluster’ represents a minimum record unit, five hundred forty-four clusters gather to construct one fragment as one upper record unit, and total five fragments gather to form the PIC area. Disc information is recorded in a front head cluster of a first fragment IFO. The disc information is plurally recorded per recording layer and writing speed permitted by the corresponding optical disc, and one disc information includes one hundred twelve bytes. Specifically, disc information constructed with 112-bytes is called disc information (DI) frame. Moreover, the same contents of the disc information are repeatedly recorded in each front head cluster of the rest of the fragments, thereby enabling to cope with loss of the disc information.
Referring to FIG. 4, a plurality of disc information are recorded within a disc, a record sequence of each disc information is decided by a sequence number, and the record sequence is recorded by 1-byte. For instance, the corresponding information is recorded in 5th byte within the disc information, which is named ‘DI frame sequence number in DI block’ field and is briefly indicated by ‘00h, 01h, 02h, 03h . . . ’. Namely, if the information of the 5th byte is ‘00h’, it means 1st disc information. And, if the information of the 5th byte is ‘07h’, it means 8th disc information. Moreover, the meaning of ‘DI frame sequence number in DI block’ of the 5th byte can be defined in a following manner. First of all, if the information of the 5th byte is ‘00h’, ‘00h’ means 1st disc information as well as disc information of 1× speed of a first recording layer Layer0. ‘01h’ means 2nd disc information as well as disc information of 2× speed of the first recording layer Layer0. ‘02h’ means 3rd disc information as well as disc information of 4× speed of the first recording layer Layer0. And, ‘03h’ means 4th disc information as well as disc information of 8× speed of the first recording layer Layer0. It is a matter of course that the recording layer information and the writing speed information can be separately recorded in a reserved area within disc information.
Namely, it is identified whether the corresponding disc information is in ‘CLV’ mode or ‘CAV’ mode via ‘DI Type’ field, and the write strategy (WS) is recorded in a manner fitting the identified mode. For instance, if it is the CLV mode, a WS for one recording velocity is recorded only. If it is CAV mode, it is necessary to record a WS for one type recording velocity group (e.g., three kinds of linear velocities such as 1×, 1.7×, and 2.4×).
For instance, disc information for 1× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘00h’ as a disc information sequence, a disc information type means a CAV mode, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with it so that a CAV WS is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 2× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘01h’, a disc information type means a CLV mode, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with it so that a CLV WS is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 4× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘02h’, a disc information type means a CLV mode, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with it so that a CLV WS is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 8× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘03h’, a disc information type means a CAV mode, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with it so that a CAV WS is selected to be recorded. In this case, the CLV or CAV WS means one write strategy (WS) selected by a disc manufacturer. In case of CLV, the write strategy will be applied to one kind writing speed. In case of CAV, the write strategy will be applied to a plurality of writing speeds for one type writing speed or recording velocity group.
Namely, in case that corresponding disc information means CAV mode, this is subdivided to identify how many velocities are provided by a write strategy (WS). Hence, ‘DI Type’ field can be defined as follows. If ‘DI Type’ field recorded in Nth byte is ‘0000 0001b’, it means CAV mode and a write strategy (WS) recorded in Lth˜111th bytes is recorded to correspond to one kind of velocity only. If ‘DI Type’ field recorded in Nth byte is ‘0000 0010b’, it means CAV mode and a write strategy (WS) recorded in Lth˜111th bytes is recorded to correspond to two kinds of velocities. If ‘DI Type’ field recorded in Nth byte is ‘0000 00011b’, it means CAV mode and a write strategy (WS) recorded in Lth˜111th bytes is recorded to correspond to three kinds of velocities.
This is explained by being compared to the embodiment in FIG. 4 as follows. First of all, ‘Write Strategy (WS) Type’ field is added to Pth byte of the embodiment in FIG. 4 so that Lth˜111th write strategy (WS) is recorded by interworking with a disc information type in Nth byte and’ a write strategy (WS) type in Pth byte. Namely, it can be defined as follows. If ‘0000 0000b’ is written in Pth byte, it means 1st WS WS-1. If ‘0000 0010b’ is written in Pth byte, it means 2nd WS WS-2. And, if ‘XXXX XXXXb’ is written in Pth byte, it means Kth WS WS-K.
FIG. 8 shows that a disc manufacturer optionally records a specific write strategy (WS) for entire writing speeds in recording one of a plurality of write strategies (WS)
Referring to FIG. 8, Nth byte of disc information indicates a disc information type, Pth byte of disc information indicates a write strategy (WS) type, and parameters associated with one write strategy (WS) decided by interworking with the Nth and Pth bytes are recorded in Lth˜111th bytes.
For instance, disc information for 1× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘00h’ as a disc information sequence, a disc information type means a CAV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 1st WS WS-1, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CAV WS-1 is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 2× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘01h’, a disc information type means a CLV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 1st WS WS-1, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CLV WS-1 is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 4× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘02h’, a disc information type means a CLV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 2nd WS WS-2, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CLV WS-2 is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 8× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘03h’, a disc information type means a CAV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 2nd WS WS-2, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CAV WS-2 is selected to be recorded.
FIG. 9 shows that one of a plurality of write strategies (WS) is recorded within disc information, in which a mandatory write strategy (WS) type is recorded for a specific specified writing speed (e.g., 1× speed) but a disc manufacturer optionally records a specific write strategy (WS) for the rest writing speeds.
Hence, the method in FIG. 9 differs from the method in FIG. 8 in that a write strategy (WS) type is decided in a mandatory manner by putting limitation on disc manufacturer's options for a specific writing speed (1× speed). This enables a manufacturer of a disc recording/reproducing apparatus (FIG. 12) to design to manufacture inexpensive products coping with one write strategy (WS) type only.
For instance, disc information for 1× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘00h’ as a disc information sequence, a disc information type means a CAV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 1st WS WS-1, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CAV WS-1 is selected in a mandatory manner to be recorded. Disc information for 2× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘01h’, a disc information type means a CLV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 1st WS WS-1, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CLV WS-1 is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 4× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘02h’, a disc information type means a CLV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 2nd WS WS-2, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CLV WS-2 is selected to be recorded. Disc information for 8× speed of 1st recording layer is recorded in ‘03h’, a disc information type means a CAV mode, a write strategy (WS) type means 2nd WS WS-2, and a write strategy (WS) interworks with them so that a CAV WS-2 is selected to be recorded.
Referring to FIG. 11, ‘0000 0000b’ is written in ‘DI Type’ field of Nth byte to mean CLV mode. ‘0000 0001b’ is written in ‘Write Strategy (WS) Type’ field of Pth byte to mean 1st WS WS-1. 5th byte is ‘00h’ to mean 1× speed disc information of 1st recording layer. And, a specific write strategy (WS) interworking with the Nth and Pth bytes is written in Lth˜111th bytes within a disc.
If ‘DI Type’ field (Nth byte) is set to ‘0000 0001b’ to mean a CAV mode, or if ‘Write Strategy (WS) Type’ field is set to ‘0000 0010b’ to mean 2nd WS WS-2, it is apparent that write strategy (WS) parameters written in Lth˜111th bytes should be recorded as new contents different from the parameters specified in FIG. 11 or the values of the corresponding parameters.
