Abstract
A fixed-length block is repetitively generated. The fixed-length block includes a sync information piece, “n-m” information pieces following the sync information piece, an ID information piece following the “n-m” information pieces, and “m” information pieces following the ID information piece, where “n” denotes a natural number equal to or greater than 2, and “m” denotes a natural number smaller than “n” and equal to or greater than 1. The generated fixed-length block is recorded on a recording medium. The ID information piece is placed in an intermediate portion of the fixed-length block.
Claims6
A method of recording information on a recording medium, comprising the steps of:
- repetitively generating a fixed-length block including a sync information piece, “n-m” information pieces following the sync information piece, an ID information piece following the “n-m” information pieces, and “m” information pieces following the ID information piece, wherein “n” denotes a natural number equal to or greater than 2, and “m” denotes a natural number smaller than “n” and equal to or greater than 1;
- and
- recording the generated fixed-length block on the recording medium;
- wherein the ID information piece is placed in an intermediate portion of the fixed-length block.
A method of recording information on a recording medium, comprising the steps of:
- repetitively generating a fixed-length block including a sync information piece, “n-m” information pieces following the sync information piece, a first error correction code signal following the “n-m” information pieces, an ID information piece following the first error correction code signal, “m” information pieces following the ID information piece, and a second error correction code signal following the “m” information pieces, wherein “n” denotes a natural number equal to or greater than 2, and “m” denotes a natural number smaller than “n” and equal to or greater than 1, wherein the first error correction code signal is for error correction about the “n-m” information pieces and the ID information piece, and the second error correction code signal is for error correction about the “m” information pieces and the ID information piece, and wherein the ID information piece is for identification about types of the “n-m” information pieces and the “m” information pieces;
- and
- recording the generated fixed-length block on the recording medium;
- wherein the ID information piece is placed in an intermediate portion of the fixed-length block.

- and
- means for recording the generated fixed-length block on the recording medium;
- wherein the ID information piece is placed in an intermediate portion of the fixed-length block.
