RECORDING FORMAT FOR OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM A recording format for an optical recording medium having a rectangular data recording region capable of containing n data-bit lines. In the recording format, the data recording region is sectioned into bands having a width corresponding to an appropriate number of data-bit lines to form blocks. Each of the blocks is provided with an identifier to allow the access by block units. Each of the blocks may be formed of a group of databit lines and a check bit line. Each block may have a plurality of sectors. The blocks may be sectioned by boundary information lines having a specific code pattern. |
