Abstract
The present invention discloses a method of adjusting writing parameters, comprising the steps of testing a region to be written in a re-writeable optical disc without changing writing power level; calculating writing parameters in the region to be written based on the tested result; and adjusting writing parameters based on the calculated result. According to embodiments of the present invention, the direct over writing compatibility problem can be resolved. Moreover, power level adjusting is kept unchanged so as to avoid possible damage to direct over writing cycleability.
Claims13
A method of adjusting parameters for writing an optical disc, said method comprising the steps of:
- testing a region to be written in a re-writeable optical disc without changing writing power level,
- calculating writing parameters in the region to be written based on the tested result,
- adjusting writing parameters based on the calculated result.
An optical disc writer, comprising:
- a reading and writing device for reading or writing data on an optical disc,
- a measurement device coupled to the reading and writing device for measuring and determining signal quality of a written region,
- a calculation device coupled to the reading and writing device and the measurement device for calculating writing parameters in a region to be written based on tested result made in the region to be written without changing writing power level,
- an adjustment device coupled to the reading and writing device for adjusting writing parameters based on the calculated result.
A method of writing data on a re-writeable optical disc, said method comprising the steps of:
- writing data on the re-writeable optical disc,
- stopping to write data and determining signal quality of the written data,
- testing a region to be written in a re-writeable optical disc without changing writing power level,
- calculating writing parameters in the region to be written based on the tested result,
- adjusting writing parameters based on the calculated result,
- continuing to write data on the re-writeable optical disc.
