Abstract
In an information recording, a first data processor divides input data into a plurality of frames so as to arrange the plurality of frames for each unit block. The unit block is a unit of error-correction with respect to the input data and the frames include first identification information, respectively. A second data processor inserts a linking block on a boundary portion between unit blocks in the record data. The unit blocks are adjacent to each other. The linking block includes a second identification information and the second identification information is different from each of the first identification information. A controller controls to record the unit block and the linking block on the information recording medium.
Claims10
An information recording apparatus for recording information on an information recording medium in which address information indicating a recording position of record data is recorded in advance, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- a first data processor for generating the record data by a unit block of a plurality of unit blocks, each of which is a unit of error-correction with respect to input data;
- a second data processor for generating a first linking information and a second linking information of which a linking area inserted on a boundary portion between one or more sets of adjacent unit blocks is comprised;
- and
- a recording device for recording information on the information recording medium so that a recording order becomes the first linking information, the unit block of the record data, and the second linking information, and a data area in which the first linking information, the unit block and the second linking information are recorded is N times as long as an address area in which the address information is recorded, said N being a natural number.
A method of recording information on an information recording medium in which address information indicating a recording position of record data is recorded in advance, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- generating the record data by a unit block of a plurality of unit blocks, each of which is a unit of error-correction with respect to input data;
- generating a first linking information and a second linking information of which a linking area inserted on a boundary portion between one or more sets of adjacent unit blocks is comprised;
- and
- recording information on the information recording medium so that a recording order becomes the first linking information, the unit block of the record data, and the second linking information, and a data area in which the first linking information, the unit block and the second linking information are recorded is N times as long as an address area in which the address information is recorded, said N being a natural number.
