METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECORDING AND/OR REPRODUCING DATA AND WRITE-ONCE INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A method and apparatus for recording and/or reproducing data, and a write-once information storage medium. The write-once information storage medium includes at least one data area for recording user data and at least one recording management data (RMD) area for recording recording management data needed to use the at least one data area by dividing the at least one data area into a plurality of borders when recording the user data in a sequential recording mode and/or a random recording mode in the at least one data area. If RMD is recorded on the write-once information storage medium and the data area is divided into a plurality of borders and/or recording zones, data can be recorded on the write-once information storage medium in a sequential recording mode or a random recording mode. Therefore, the write-once information storage medium can be used with enhanced ease and efficiency.
