Patent ID: 8018803

Claim:
An information recording apparatus, comprising: a recording device for recording record information onto an information recording medium by irradiating laser light with a predetermined power; an adding device for adding weight to at least one of a plurality of reproduction features associated with the record information; and a controlling device for controlling said recording device to record the record information with a power in which the at least one reproduction feature with the weight added satisfies a predetermined first reference, wherein said adding device adds a priority order to each of the plurality of reproduction features, wherein said controlling device controls said recording device to record the record information with a power in which a first reproduction feature with the relatively high priority order out of the plurality of reproduction features satisfies the first reference and in which at least one another reproduction feature other than the first reproduction feature out of the plurality of reproduction features satisfies a second reference, which is milder than the first reference, and wherein in a condition where said controlling device cannot control said recording device to record the record information with the power in which the another reproduction feature satisfies the second reference, said controlling device controls said recording device to record the record information with a power in which a second reproduction feature, which is prioritized next to the first reproduction feature, satisfies the first reference and in which another reproduction feature other than the second reproduction feature out of the plurality of reproduction features satisfies the second reference.
