Abstract
A method of loading an optical record carrier into an optical drive is disclosed. The method comprises using a subset of a set of initial startup procedures for subsequent startups, the set of initial startup procedures comprising procedures that the optical drive requires to start recording or reading the optical record carrier. The method is useful for CD, DVD, HD-DVD and BD recorder and/or players. The method reduces the disc startup time and enhances the user satisfaction index.
