Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for recording at least one data block on a disc-shaped record carrier (11). Said method comprises the steps of moving a write head towards a predetermined track comprising a first location (M) to which the at least one data block is planned to be written. It also comprises a step of determining a current location (I) of the write head on the track. It finally comprises a step of determining a second location (J), which is the nearest available location on the track of the current location of the write head in the rotational sense of the record carrier, and of writing said at least one data block to said second location.

A method for recording at least one data block on a disc-shaped record carrier, said method comprises the steps of:
- moving a write head towards a predetermined track comprising a first location (M) to which the at least one data block is planned to be written,
- determining a current location (I) of the write head on the track,
- determining a second location (J), which is the nearest available location on the track of the current location of the write head in the rotational sense of the record carrier,
- writing said at least one data block to said second location.
A device for recording data blocks on a disc-shaped record carrier, said device comprising:
- a head for writing at least one data block on said record carrier,
- means for moving the write head towards a predetermined track comprising a first location (M) to which the at least one data block is planned to be written,
- means for determining a current location (I) of the write head when it is positioned on the predetermined track, and
- means for controlling the write head in such a way that the at least one data block is written to a second location (J), which is the nearest available location on the track of the current location of the write head in the rotational sense of the record carrier.
