METHOD OF VERIFYING DEFECT MANAGEMENT AREA INFORMATION OF OPTICAL DISC UPON INITIALIZATION WITH CERTIFICATION AND TEST APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE SAME

摘要

A method of verifying defect management area (DMA) information of an optical disc upon initialization with certification, and a test apparatus for performing the same. The method includes generating, as test information, defect management information, whi ch is generated after performing initialization with certification on a test disc, which is obtain ed by making known physical defects on a blank disc, and verifying the test information using reference test information for initialization with certification to provide the test result . Accordingly, it can be easily verified that a recording and reproducing apparatus properly translat es and processes DMA information which is generated after initialization with certification, usin g a test disc with known physical defects.
