Recording defect substitution method for a disc-shaped recording medium, and a recording and reproducing apparatus for a disc-shaped recording medium

Abstract

In a recording and reproducing apparatus for a disc-shaped recording medium, and a defect substitution method for a disc-shaped recording medium ( 8 ), whether reproduction of recorded data is good is determined by sector unit and not by product code unit, defective sector discrimination is performed by sector unit, and only sectors determined defective are alternately recorded, when using a recording format in which data that is error detection and correction coded with a product code is segmented and recorded to a plurality of sectors.

1. A recording apparatus for recording data in a disc-shaped recording medium having a plurality of sectors, said recording apparatus comprising:
 a coding means for coding the data into error detection and correction coded data aligned in both row and column directions, and segmenting said error detection and correction coded data into a plurality of segment coded data;  
 means for recording each of said plurality of segment coded data to a sector in a first recording area of the disc-shaped recording medium;  
 defective sector discrimination means for determining whether a sector is a defective sector by reproducing said segment coded data recorded in said sector; and  
 defective sector substitution means , for skipping, in the case where said sector is determined to be a defective sector, only the defective sector and for recording said segment coded data in and after the defective sector in following sectors by successively slipping sectors one by one, and for shifting the data for the defective sector and recording the data for the defective sector to a second recording area in the case where there remain no sufficient sectors in the first recording area as a result of the sectors slipping substitution of sectors. 
 
     
     
       2. The disc-shaped recording medium recording apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the defective sector discrimination means determines a sector to be a detective sector when address information (ID) pre-recorded to said sector cannot be correctly reproduced. 
     
     
       3. The recording apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the defective sector discrimination means determines a sector to be a defective sector by decoding only the error detection and correction coded data, which can be decoded using only data recorded to said sector. 
     
     
       4. The disc-shaped recording medium recording apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the defective sector discrimination means determines a sector to be a defective sector when data recorded to said sector can not be correctly reproduced. 
     
     
       5. A recording method for recording data in a disc-shaped recording medium having a plurality of sectors, said recording method comprising:
 coding the data into error detection and correction coded data aligned in both row and column directions;  
 segmenting said error detection and correction coded data into a plurality of segment coded data;  
 recording each of said plurality of segment coded data to a sector in a first recording area of the disc-shaped recording medium;  
 determining whether a sector is a defective sector by reproducing said  segment coded data recorded in said sector; and  
 in the case where said sector is determined to be a defective sector, skipping only the defective sector and recording said segment coded data in and after the defective sector in sectors following sectors by successively slipping sector sectors one by one sector , and shifting the data for the defective sector and recording the data for the defective sector to a second recording area in the case where there remain no sufficient sectors in the first recording area as a result of the sectors slipping substitution of sectors. 
 
     
     
       6. A recording apparatus for recording data in a disc-shaped recording medium having a plurality of sectors, said recording apparatus comprising:
 a coding means for coding the data into error detection and correction coded data aligned in both row and column directions, and segmenting said error detection and correction coded data into a plurality of segment coded data;    means for recording each of said plurality of segment coded data to a sector in a first recording area of the disc-shaped recording medium;    defective sector discrimination means for determining whether a sector is a defective sector by using a defect list which has been prepared by reproducing segment coded data recorded in said sector; and    defective sector substitution means for skipping, in the case where said sector is determined to be a defective sector, only the defective sector and for recording said segment coded data in and after the defective sector in following sectors by successively slipping sectors one by one, and for shifting the data for the defective sector and recording the data for the defective sector to a second recording area in the case where there remain no sufficient sectors in the first recording area as a result of the slipping of sectors.   
     
     
       7. A recording method for recording data in a disc-shaped recording medium having a plurality of sectors, said recording method comprising:
 coding the data into error detection and correction coded data aligned in both row and column directions;    segmenting said error detection and correction coded data into a plurality of segment coded data;    recording each of said plurality of segment coded data to a sector in a first recording area of the disc-shaped recording medium;    determining whether a sector is a defective sector by using a defect list which has been prepared by reproducing segment coded data recorded in said sector; and    in the case where said sector is determined to be a defective sector, skipping only the defective sector and recording said segment coded data in and after the defective sector in following sectors by successively slipping sectors one by one, and shifting the data for the defective sector and recording the data for the defective sector to a second recording area in the case where there remain no sufficient sectors in the first recording area as a result of the slipping of sectors.
