Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer-readable recording medium are disclosed, for recording information in an information recording medium. The method includes a first step of outputting, in response to an initialization request for initializing the information recording medium, termination information indicative of termination of the initialization before the initialization starts, and a second step of starting the initialization at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information. In this procedure, it is possible to start to record data in a blank disc sooner than in conventional methods.

A method of recording information in an information recording medium, the method comprising steps of:
- outputting termination information indicative of termination of a format of the information recording medium before the format starts;
- and
- starting the format of the information recording medium at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information.
An apparatus of recording information in an information recording medium, the apparatus comprising:
- a termination information output part configured to output termination information indicative of termination of a format of the information recording medium before the format starts;
- and
- a format part configured to stmt the format-of the information recording medium at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information.
A system comprising:
- a host device;
- and
- an information recording apparatus configured to record information in an information recording medium,
- wherein:
- the host device requests a format of the information recording medium from the information recording apparatus, and
- after the host device requests the format, the information recording apparatus outputs termination information indicative of termination of a format of the information recording medium before the format starts and starts the format of the information recording medium at a predetermined timing after the output of the termination information.
