The present invention relates to a method for determining the format of an optical recording medium (1) comprising one or more data and/or audio tracks, and an apparatus for reading from and/or writing to optical recording media using such method. It is an object of the present invention to propose a method for determining the format of an optical recording medium (1) that is robust against partially corrupted data on the recording medium, and an apparatus using such method. According to the invention, the method comprise the steps of: reading (101) the table of contents (TOC) ; storing information from the table of contents; checking (102, 103, 105) whether all tracks are indicated as audio tracks or as data tracks or whether both audio tracks and data tracks are present; if one or more data tracks are present, checking (104, 106, 107) whether the first indicated data track contains any audio information; and determining the format according to the results of the checking steps (102-107). <IMAGE> |
