Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of handling an optical disc of the rewritable type comprising identification of the type of optical disc and mounting of logical structures.
  • This invention also relates to device for recording an optical disc of the rewritable type and a computer software product.
  • the exact type of optical disc needs to be recognized, so that the readout apparatus can adapt the reading and/or recording method to the type of optical disc.
  • the disc needs to be mounted, this step comprising reading logical file structures. If both steps are successful, the disc is made available to be used by the end user. If errors are detected either in the disc recognition step or during mounting, a known drive reports the disc as damaged and the end-user cannot use it.
  • the object of the invention is reached by a method of handling an optical disc of the rewritable type according to the invention.
  • a formatting step succeeding the mounting step comprising formatting the optical disc if the type of optical disc was identified in the disc recognition step, but the information with respect to the logical disc structures comprises errors or could not be read.

  • Formatting allows re-use of the optical disc at the price of losing all saved information, and it order to be possible, it only requires the availability of information obtained during disc recognition and no information with respect to the logical disc structures already present on disc is needed. While discrimination between different types of optical disc, such as between CDs and DVDs is usually done by means of optical beam parameters, further discrimination, such as between DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM, may be obtained either from information recorded in the lead in area or from information prerecorded in the wobble during manufacturing. It is advantageous to retrieve information prerecorded in the wobble, as this does not require the ability to recorded data.

  • the errors encountered during the mounting step may be related either to errors in retrieving disc management information or errors in retrieving file system information. In the latter case, it may be possible that the file system can be partially mounted. In such cases, it is advantageous to recover the information stored in files that were properly mounted.
