Abstract
A method of verifying whether a recording and/or reproducing apparatus that records and/or reproduces a disc having temporary defect management area (TDMA) information properly produces the TDMA information, the method including producing TDMA information produced by performing a recording test according to a series of recording operations based on a scenario using a blank test disc as test information; and providing a result of the recording test by confirming the test information using reference test information for the recording test.
Claims18
A method of verifying whether a recording and/or reproducing apparatus that records and/or reproduces a disc comprising temporary defect management area (TDMA) information properly produces the TDMA information, the method comprising:
- producing as test information TDMA information produced by performing a recording test according to a series of recording operations based on a test scenario using a blank test disc;
- and
- providing a result of the recording test by confirming the test information using reference test information for the recording test,
- wherein the test information comprises TDMA access indicators.
A verifier that confirms whether a recording and/or reproducing apparatus that records and/or reproduces a disc comprising TDMA information properly produces the TDMA information, the verifier comprising:
- a recording module that issues a series of commands to perform a recording test according to a series of recording operations based on a test scenario using a blank test disc;
- wherein the verifier receives as test information TDMA information produced from a test disc produced after performing the recording test, confirms the received test information based on reference test information, and provides a result of the recording test,
- wherein the test information comprises TDMA access indicators.
A method of verifying whether a drive that records a disc comprising temporary defect management area (TDMA) information properly records the TDMA information, the method comprising:
- recording predetermined data on a blank test disc with a drive to be tested according to a predetermined test scenario to generate a disc to be verified having TDMA information recorded thereon;
- generating test information from the TDMA information recorded on the disc to be verified;
- and
- verifying whether the TDMA information was properly recorded on the disc to be verified by the drive to be tested based on the test information,
- wherein the test information comprises TDMA access indicators.
A verifier that verifies whether a drive that records a disc comprising temporary defect management area (TDMA) information properly records the TDMA information, the verifier comprising:
- a recording module that controls a drive to be tested to record predetermined data on a blank test disc according to a predetermined test scenario to generate a disc to be verified having TDMA information recorded thereon;
- wherein the verifier:
- receives test information generated from the TDMA information recorded on the disc to be verified, and
- verifies whether the TDMA information was properly recorded on the disc to be verified by the drive to be tested based on the test information,
- wherein the test information comprises TDMA access indicators.
