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 RMD 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 in the at least one data area. The RMD is recorded on the write-once information storage medium and then used. When recording data on the write-once information storage medium in a sequential recording mode, a data area may be divided into a plurality of borders and/or recording zones. Thus, the write-once information storage medium can be used with enhanced ease and efficiency.
