Method of recording/reproducing data on/from a multi layer recording medium, and apparatus thereof

摘要

The present patent application discloses a method of recording/reproducing data on/from a multilayer recording medium, comprising steps of reading control information from a specific area of the multilayer recording medium wherein the multilayer recording medium includes at least a first layer and a second layer, the control information is located at a particular area of the first and/or second layer, and the control information on the first and/or second layer includes first and second control information for the first and second layers and wherein the first control information having recording parameters for a basic write strategy followed by recording parameters of an alternate write strategy or a higher recording speed for the first layer is followed by the second control information having the recording parameters for the basic write strategy followed by the recording parameters of the alternate write strategy or the higher recording speed for the second layer; and recording/reproducing the data on/from a main data area of the first or second layer based on the read control information. Furthermore, a corresponding apparatus for recording/reproducing data on/from a recording medium is disclosed.
