Abstract
A continuous burn process of a storage medium, performed when the buffer is buffer under run, is disclosed. Whether the data buffer is buffer under run is firstly detected. If buffer under run is to occur to the data buffer, the currently written data block is an incomplete data block. The incomplete data block includes at least a synchronous frame and an incomplete data frame, which is the last data to be burned. The write operation is paused then. When the data in the data buffer reaches a predetermined amount, a new data is written into a superimposed data region of the incomplete data frame. The data in the data buffer is then continuously burned into the subsequent data frame adjacent to the incomplete data frame.
Claims10
A method of a continuous burn for a storage medium, related to a continuous burn to a data buffer, wherein a data structure of the storage medium comprises a data block, which further comprises at least a synchronous frame and a plurality of data frames arranged sequentially subsequent to the synchronous frame, and each of the synchronous frame and the data frames comprises a synchronous column and a data column, the method comprising:
- detecting whether buffer under run occurs to the data buffer;
- burning a data block, the data block being burned as an incomplete data block when buffer under run occurs, wherein the incomplete data block comprises a synchronous frame and an incomplete data frame and the incomplete data frame includes a last written data;
- pausing the burning step;
- burning new data into a superimposed data region of the incomplete data frame when a data amount of the data buffer reaches a predetermined data amount;
- and
- performing a continuous burn on the data stored in the data buffer into the data frames adjacent to the incomplete data frame.
