COMPATIBLE OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

The present invention relates to a format of a recordable optical recording medium (8), which is designed in such a way that it has the appearance of a read-only optical recording medium for most players and recorders, and to a method for manufacturing the recordable optical recording medium (8).
The optical recording medium (8) has an essentially flat recording layer (82) having a first reflectivity at a wavelength specified for a reading and/or recording light beam (3), which has an alloyed guide track (84) formed of the material of the essentially flat recording layer (82) with a second reflectivity different from the first reflectivity at the specified wavelength.
