Disc recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording continuous compressed data in plural data regions and disc therefor

A disc recording apparatus in which compressed input data are stored in a memory and read out therefrom in a burst manner for being recorded in a data region of a disc, and in which data indicating the recording contents of a recording region are recorded in a lead-in region of said disc, comprising:

• data recording means for subdividing continuous compressed input data and for recording the subdivided continuous compressed input data in plural non-continuous data zones on said disc;
• and
• lead-in data recording means for recording in said lead-in region track number data associated with the continuous compressed input data, address data indicating the positions of said data zones associated with said track number data, address data indicating a linking destination of said subdivided continuous compressed input data recorded in a given data region, and data indicating the position in said lead-in region in which address data of another data zone to be linked with said given data zone.

A disc recording apparatus in which compressed input data are stored in a memory and read out therefrom in a burst manner for being recorded in a data region of a disc, and in which data indicating the recording contents of a recording region are recorded in a lead-in region of said disc, comprising:

• data recording means for subdividing continuous compressed in data and for recording subdivided continuous compressed input data in plural non-continuous data zones on said disc, and
• lead-in data recording means for generating a track number table including track number data associated with the continuous compressed data and an address data table including address data indicating the position of the data zones associated with the track number data and address data indicating a linking destination of the compressed data recorded in a given data zone and for recording data of said tables in said lead-in region of said disc.

A disc-shaped recording region comprising:

• plural data zones in which continuous digital data are recorded after compression followed by subdivision, and
• a lead-in region in which track address data associated with said subdivided compressed continuous digital data, address data indicating the position of each data zone associated with track number data, and linking address data indicating the linking destination of the compressed data recorded in one of a plurality of recording zones, are recorded.
