ОПТИЧЕСКАЯ СРЕДА ХРАНЕНИЯ ИНФОРМАЦИИ

摘要

A method of recording information on and of reproducing information from an optical information storage medium including a plurality of areas and at least one transition area. Each transition area is located between two adjacent areas. The transition area allows data to be smoothly reproduced from the reproduction-only optical information storage medium at a low error generation rate. Also, since the optical information storage medium provides standards for the transition area, it is compatible with existing optical information storage media.
