METHOD FOR RECORDING INFORMATION ON A MULTI LAYER RECORD CARRIER, AND RECORD CARRIER FOR USE BY SUCH METHOD

摘要

This invention relates to a method for recording information on a multi layer record carrier. The information is recorded on the record carrier according to special filling patterns, such that the record carrier is compatible with the DVD-ROM standard while the time required for closing a session and/or finalizing the disc is reduced. The information is substantially evenly distributed over the layers in blocks of a predefined amount of storage space. The size of these blocks may be flexible and set by the method or read from the record carrier.
