Abstract
A dual-deck optical disc system, including a first deck into which a recordable optical disc is inserted, a second deck into which an original optical disc is inserted, and a controller. The controller checks whether contents to be copied from the original optical disc of the second deck are able to be copied without predetermined errors to the recordable optical disc of the first deck upon an input of a copy command. The controller also displays an error based on a negative result of the checking.
Claims23
A dual-deck optical disc system, comprising:
- a first deck into which a recordable optical disc is inserted;
- a second deck into which an original optical disc is inserted;
- and
- a controller to check whether contents to be copied from the original optical disc inserted in the second deck are able to be copied without predetermined errors to the recordable optical disc inserted in the first deck upon an input of a copy command, and to display an error based on a negative result of the checking.
A method of copying data for use with an optical disc system with dual decks, comprising:
- inputting a copy command to initiate a copying of contents stored in an original optical disc to a recordable optical disc where the recordable optical disc is inserted in a first deck and the original optical disc is inserted in a second deck of the optical disc system;
- checking whether all or part of the contents in the original optical disc are able to be copied to the recordable optical disc without predetermined errors;
- and
- displaying an error indicating that the copying cannot be performed based on the result of the checking.
A system, in which first and second discs are loaded onto first and second decks, and in which contents of one of the discs are to be copied to the other disc, the system comprising a controller to check whether the first and second discs have identical formats and, if the first and second discs have identical formats, to check whether the other disc has sufficient capacity to store the contents to be copied.
A dual-deck optical disc system, comprising:
- a first deck on which a recordable optical disc is placed;
- a second deck on which an original optical disc is placed, the original optical disc including contents to be copied to the recordable optical disc;
- and
- a controller to copy the contents from the original optical disc to the recordable optical disc unless, upon an input of a command to initiate the copying of the contents, the discs are found to have different formats, or, if the formats are the same, the recordable optical disc is found to not have sufficient capacity to store the contents.
A method of operating a dual deck optical system that receives a command to copy data from an original optical disc to a recordable optical disc, the method comprising:
- determining whether the original optical disc and the recordable optical disc have the same formats;
- if the formats are found to be same, determining whether the recordable optical disc includes sufficient capacity to store the data to be copied;
- and
- if the recordable optical disc is found to include the sufficient capacity, copying the data from the original optical disc to the recordable optical disc.
