Recordable optical disc, optical disc recording apparatus, optical disc reproduction apparatus, and method for recording data onto recordable optical disc

摘要

A DVD-R recorder according to the invention detects an item of recording speed information (d 15 ) from a DVD-R ( 30 ) on which histories of recording speed information, write strategy, and recording power condition are stored. When the decoded item of recording speed information (d 15 ) agrees with a set item of recording speed information (d 17 ), the recorder detects the write strategy (d 6 ) and the recording power condition (d 10 ) corresponding to the decoded item of recording speed information (d 15 ). A recording-pulse-determination section ( 9 ) converts a recording pattern (d 8 ) into a recording pulse (d 9 ) according to the write strategy (d 6 ). A recording-power-determination section ( 12 ) performs an OPC based on the recording power condition (d 10 ). The recording power condition (d 10 ) may include information specifying that a recording pulse corresponding to the front edge of a recorded mark has a larger recording power than other recording pulses.
