Method or recording information, computer program, computer readable storage medium, and optical disk apparatus that stably record information on optical disk with high recording quality

摘要

In an optical disk apparatus that records information by emitting a laser light beam from a light source to an optical disk which includes a recording area having a first zone on which information is recorded with a first optimum recording power of a laser light beam at a first recording speed and a second zone on which information is recorded with a second optimum recording power of a laser light beam at a second recording speed, a determining mechanism determines whether the first optimum recording power is adequate for use in recording information on a this time recording area provided in the first zone based on the first and second recording speeds when a last recording area is provided in the second zone. When the first optimum recording power is determined to be not adequate, a recording power obtaining mechanism obtains the updated first optimum recording power.
