Recording type optical disc apparatus and optical disc medium

A method of accessing an optical disc medium from an incident surface to a record layer through a transmission layer thereof, wherein a spiral record track formed on said recording layer is divided into an inner circumferential control data recording area, an user data recording area and an outer circumferential control data recording area from an inner circumferential side, comprising:

• recording a user data in said user data recording area;
• carrying out an ending process to record a control data in a predetermined area of said user data recording area, after said user data is recorded;
• and
• recording an ending process state data showing a progress state of said ending process in a predetermined area of said inner circumferential control data recording area.

An optical disc medium comprising:

• a transmission layer having an incident surface to which an incident light beam is irradiated;
• and
• a recording layer on which a recordable spiral record track is formed, and on/from which a recording operation and a reproducing operation are carried out by using a focused spot of said light beam received through said transmission layer from said incident surface,
• wherein a spiral record track formed on said recording layer is divided into an inner circumferential control data recording area, an user data recording area and an outer circumferential control data recording area from an inner circumferential side,
• said inner circumferential control data recording area has a record state data section in which a recording state of said user data recording area is saved, and
• said inner circumferential control data recording area has a record state data section in which an ending process state data is recorded to show a progress state of an ending process in which a control data is recorded in a predetermined area of said user data recording area after a user data is recorded in said user data recording area.
