The present invention provides a recording medium and a recording/reproducing apparatus which enable the number of data units of recording pulse information to be reduced by dividing the recording pulse information into 1 byte-parameter information and differences from a value thereof, and the recording pulse information to be recorded on an existing DI area. A recording medium (801) has an information area (101) in which is recorded, as recording/reproducing control information, set values of a recording pulse adopted when forming a recording mark including: preceding space-based set values that include a first reference value that is a set value of a recording pulse corresponding to a predetermined preceding space and a first difference set value which is a set value of a recording pulse corresponding to a space other than the predetermined preceding space and which is expressed as a difference from the first reference value; and trailing space-based set values that include a second reference value that is a set value of a recording pulse corresponding to a predetermined trailing space and a second difference set value which is a set value of a recording pulse corresponding to a space other than the predetermined trailing space and which is expressed as a difference from the second reference value. |
