Abstract
An optical disc apparatus and a method of performing a finalize operation thereof are capable of automatically performing the finalize operation without separate manipulation by setting an easy (EZ) recording mode in the optical disc apparatus such as a digital video disc (DVD) recorder. The method includes determining whether or not a key for opening a disc is input by instruction of a user, comparing a capacity of data that is recorded on the disc with a remaining capacity of data that is not recorded on the disc when the key for opening the disc is input, and determining whether or not to automatically perform the finalize operation.
Claims23
A method of performing a finalize operation of an optical disc apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether or not a key for opening a disc is input by instruction of a user;
- and
- comparing a capacity of data that is recorded on the disc with a remaining capacity of data that is not recorded on the disc when the key for opening the disc is input, and determining whether or not to automatically perform the finalize operation.
An optical disc apparatus comprising:
- an input unit that inputs a key for opening a disc according to a user instruction;
- and
- a microcomputer that compares a capacity of data that is recorded on the disc with a remaining capacity of data that is not recorded on the disc when the key for opening the disc is input, and determines whether or not to automatically perform finalize operation.
An optical disc apparatus comprising:
- an input unit to select a mode to automatically perform a finalize operation on a disc;
- and
- a microcomputer to control the input unit to set the EZ mode before starting a recording operation to record data on the disc.
An optical disc apparatus comprising:
- a disc unit to record data on a disc;
- a microcomputer to control the disc unit to automatically perform a finalize operation on the disc according to a mode set before a recording operation, after the recording operation is finished.
An optical disc apparatus comprising:
- a disc unit to record data on a disc;
- an input unit to select a mode to automatically perform a finalize operation on the disc;
- and
- a microcomputer to control the input unit to set the mode before starting a recording operation to record data on the disc, and the disc unit to perform the mode on the disc after the recording operation is finished.
