Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer-readable recording medium are disclosed, for recording information in an information recording medium. The method includes a first step of outputting, in response to an initialization request for initializing the information recording medium, termination information indicative of termination of the initialization before the initialization starts, and a second step of starting the initialization at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information. In this procedure, it is possible to start to record data in a blank disc sooner than in conventional methods.
Claims29
A method of recording information in an information recording medium, the method comprising:
- a first step of outputting, in response to an initialization request for initializing the information recording medium, termination information indicative of termination of the initialization before said initialization starts;
- and
- a second step of starting the initialization at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information.
A method of recording information in an information recording medium, the method comprising:
- a first step of recording, in response to a write request for recording user data in the information recording medium accompanied by recording of management information, the user data before the recording of the management information;
- and
- a second step of recording the management information after the user data have been recorded.
An apparatus for recording information in an information recording medium, the apparatus comprising:
- a termination information output part, in response to an initialization request for initializing the information recording medium, outputting termination information indicative of termination of the initialization before said initialization starts;
- and
- an initialization part starting the initialization by recording predetermined initialization information in a predetermined area in the information recording medium at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information.
An apparatus for recording information in an information recording medium, the apparatus comprising:
- a user data recording part, in response to a write request for recording user data in the information recording medium accompanied by recording of management information, recording the user data before the recording of the management information;
- and
- a management information recording part recording the management information after the user data have been recorded.
A computer-readable recording medium for storing a program to cause a control computer of an information recorder to execute a procedure of recording information in an information recording medium, the procedure comprising:
- a first step of outputting, in response to an initialization request for initializing the information recording medium, termination information indicative of termination of the initialization before said initialization starts;
- and
- a second step of starting the initialization at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information.
A computer-readable recording medium for storing a program to cause a control computer of an information recorder to execute a procedure of recording information in an information recording medium, the procedure comprising:
- a first step of recording, in response to a write request for recording user data in the information recording medium accompanied by recording of management information, the user data before the recording of the management information;
- and
- a second step of recording the management information after the user data have been recorded.
