Method of recording information to and reproducing information from an optical information storage medium

摘要

A method of recoding information on a reproduction-only optical information storage medium, including: forming a plurality of areas and at least one transition area on the reproduction-only optical information storage medium. 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.
