METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECORDING INFORMATION ON A MULTI-LAYERED OPTICAL DISC

摘要

A method for copying information from a multi-layered optical source disc (2S) to on a multi- layered optical target disc (2T) is described. A first portion (67) of the source data is located in a first source storage space (LsO), and a second portion (68) of the source data is located in a second source storage space (LsI). The first source data portion has a logical end address (M) smaller than the physical end address (Nt) of the first target storage space (LtO). All source cells from the first source storage space are recorded into a first target data portion (77) of the first target storage space. The remainder portion (74) of the first target storage space is defined as a dummy data portion. Then, the cells from the second source data portion (68) are recorded into a second target data portion (78) of the second target storage space (LtI).
