Abstract
An information recording apparatus and method for recording information of a recording block including a plurality of sectors as one verifying unit into an optical information recording medium, a recording area of the optical information recording medium including a plurality of zones, and wherein each zone is different in a sector number per round of a track. A recorder records information of a plurality of recording blocks into the optical information recording medium and a verification conductor conducts a verify control. A number of the recording block included in the verifying unit is determined to be a minimal number in a rotation waiting sector number.
Claims3
An information recording apparatus for recording information of a recording block including a plurality of sectors as one verifying unit into an optical information recording medium, a recording area of the optical information recording medium including a plurality of zones, wherein each zone is different in a sector number per round of a track, comprising:
- recording means for recording information of a plurality of recording blocks into the optical information recording medium;
- and
- conducting means for conducting a verify control;
- wherein a number of the recording block included in the verifying unit is determined to be a minimal number in a rotation waiting sector number.
An information recording apparatus for recording information of a recording block including a plurality of sectors as one verifying unit into an optical information recording medium, a recording area of the optical information recording medium including a plurality of zones, wherein each zone is different in a sector number per round of a track, comprising:
- a laser;
- an optical pickup for recording information of a plurality of recording blocks into the optical information recording medium;
- and
- a microcomputer for conducting a verify control;
- wherein a number of the recording block included in the verifying unit is determined to be a minimal number in a rotation waiting sector number.
An information recording method for recording information of a recording block including a plurality of sectors as one verifying unit into an optical information recording medium, a recording area of the optical information recording medium including a plurality of zones, wherein each is different in a sector number per round of track, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a number of the recording block included in the verifying unit so as to minimize a rotation waiting sector number;
- recording the recording blocks in the verifying unit into the optical information recording medium;
- and
- verifying the recording blocks recorded into the optical information recording medium.
