MULTILAYER OPTICAL INFORMATION MEDIUM AND OPTICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THEREFOR, PROGRAM PRODUCT AND INFORMATION MEDIUM INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

A disclosed multilayer optical information medium includes three or more information layers. Address information indicating positions in each of the information layers is recorded in a helical manner. The information layers comprise at least one I to O layer in which values representing addresses in the address information increase from an inner perimeter section toward an outer perimeter section, and at least one O to I layer in which the values representing the addresses in the address information increase from the outer perimeter section toward the inner perimeter section. All of the I to O layers have substantially the same address information and all of the O to I layers have substantially the same address information. Layer specifying information specifying the information layer is attached to the address information.
