Anordnung von Daten auf einem optischen oder magnetooptischen Datenträger

摘要

The invention relates to an optical data carrier having an ISO 9660 format on which a first group (1) of the used sectors is located at the beginning of the data carrier and a second group (2) of the used sectors is located in the range of maximum read-out rate of the data carrier. In between these two sectors there is a range of non-used sectors (3) that is filled with dummy data. The inventive arrangement is advantageous in that compatibility with the ISO 9660 format can be maintained by storing system data in the innermost sectors while the data stored in the sectors in the range of maximum read-out rate can profit of higher read-out rates. In order to increase the read-out rate even further, the longest files can be arranged in the range of maximum read-out rate.
