Recording medium, method of configuring control information thereof, recording and/or reproducing method using the same, and apparatus thereof

A method of recording control information on a recording medium, comprising:

• generating a control information unit associated with one or more one recording velocities, the control information unit including first information indicating whether parameters defined in the corresponding control information unit can be used CLV (constant linear velocity) mode or CAV (constant angular velocity) mode and a write strategy information dependent on the recording velocity;
• and
• recording the control information unit on a specific area of the recording medium.

A method of recording control information on a recording medium, comprising:

• generating a control information unit associated with one or more one recording velocities, the control information unit including write strategy information associated with one or more recording velocities and first information indicating whether CLV (constant linear velocity) mode or CAV (constant angular velocity) mode with the write strategy information can be used;
• and
• recording the control information unit on a specific area of the recording medium.

A recording medium, comprising:

• at least one recording layer provided with a recordable area and a pre-recorded area, wherein a medium control information unit is provided respectively according to each recording velocity at the recordable area or the pre-recorded area and wherein the medium control information unit includes first information identifying a type of the corresponding medium control information unit and a write strategy information dependent on the type of the medium control information unit, wherein the first information indicates whether the medium control information unit can be used for CLV (constant linear velocity) mode or CAV (constant angular velocity) mode.
