METHOD AND RECORDER FOR RECORDING DATA ON A RECORD CARRIER

摘要

When a write error occurs on a write once recording medium the recording medium is currently discarded. By retrieving the location of the last recorded data block from the recorded area indicator on the recording medium a starting point for the search for the next empty data block suitable for recording is obtained. By searching for an empty data block the data blocks comprising write errors following the last recorded data block are skipped and the recording is continued at the empty data block found. After finishing the recording and writing the lead-in and lead-out information a record carrier is obtained that can be played in standard players.
