Recording medium, method of configuring control information thereof, recording and reproducing method using the same, and apparatus thereof

摘要

A method of recording data and an apparatus for recording data having a writing/reading unit to read control information and record a main data to a recording medium. The control information including at least one information unit for a specific writing speed and recording layer, wherein the information unit includes write strategy parameters for first write strategy type to be used for the writing speed and recording layer, the first write strategy type being one of an n−1 write strategy type and an n/2 write strategy type, where n is a length of mark and each type represents a number of write pulse to form a corresponding mark. A controller, operatively coupled to the writing/reading unit, controls the writing/reading unit to record the main data on the recording layer using write strategy parameters for the first write strategy type included in the information unit, at the specific writing speed.
