INFORMATION RECORDING DISC, RECORDING AND/OR REPRODUCING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

An information recording device records auxiliary information onto a disc recording medium having a data area for recording main data and a burst cutting area for recording the auxiliary information. A header containing an identification number and a block number is appended to auxiliary information, thus generating error correction blocks each constituting a processing unit for error correction. The error correction blocks are recorded into the burst cutting area on the disc recording medium. When the same auxiliary information is arranged in each of plural said error correction blocks, the block numbers of the respective error correction blocks are the same. When the auxiliary information is arranged over plural said error correction blocks, the block numbers of the respective error correction blocks are serial numbers.
