Abstract

According to an information recording/reproducing method by which, at recording or reproduction of data, the data are temporarily stored in a memory to perform the recording or reproduction, when recording or reproduction of the data stored in the memory is performed with dividing data, recording or reproduction of subsequent data is performed without dividing the data, and when recording or reproduction of the data stored in the memory is performed without dividing data, recording or reproduction of subsequent data is performed with divided the data. Accordingly, in a disc device that records or reproduces video on/from a disc, when data stored in a memory is recorded or reproduced without dividing the data and thereafter subsequent recording or reproduction is performed, a rotational delay would not occur, and the increase in the recording/reproduction execution time resulting from the rotational delay is avoided, whereby the data recording/reproduction execution time can be optimized.

Claims (28)

1. An information recording/reproducing method for recording a DV (Digital Video) signal on a disc as an information recording medium, or reproducing the DV signal from the disc on which the DV signal is recorded, comprising:

handling the DV signal in units of frame, and temporarily storing the DV signals corresponding to the frames in a frame memory at the recording or reproduction;

detecting completion of tracking when a command is issued;

successively from a LBA (Logical Block Address) on the disc at which recording or reproduction of the DV signals is permitted, performing recording or reproduction of the DV signals corresponding to respective LBAs; and

thereafter, for a part of the disc at which the recording or reproduction of the DV signals has not been performed, carrying out recording or reproduction operations for the DV signals corresponding to respective LBAs, wherein

after the DV signal stored in the frame memory is recorded or reproduced with being divided, the subsequent DV signal is recorded or reproduced without being divided, and

after the DV signal stored in the frame memory is recorded or reproduced without being divided, the subsequent DV signal is recorded or reproduced with being divided.

2. An information recording/reproducing method for recording a DV signal on a disc as an information recording medium, or reproducing the DV signal from the disc on which the DV signal is recorded, comprising:

handling the DV signal in units of frame, and temporarily storing the DV signals corresponding to the frames in a frame memory at the recording or reproduction;

previously setting a LBA at which recording or reproduction of the DV signal is started, at a value that is larger than a LBA at which a command is issued and the recording or reproduction of the DV signal is permitted;

from the set LBA on the disc, performing recording or reproduction of the DV signals corresponding to respective LBAs; and

thereafter, for a part on the disc at which the recording or reproduction of the DV signals has not been performed, performing recording or reproduction of the DV signals corresponding to respective LBAs, wherein

after the DV signal stored in the frame memory is recorded or reproduced with being divided, the subsequent DV signal is recorded or reproduced without being divided, and

after the DV signal stored in the frame memory is recorded or reproduced without being divided, the subsequent DV signal is recorded or reproduced with being divided.

3. An information recording/reproducing method for recording data of a type that is different from a DV signal, on a disc as an information recording medium, or reproducing data from the disc on which the data of the different type from the DV signal is recorded, comprising:

temporarily storing the data in a memory;

detecting completion of tracking when a command is issued;

successively from a LBA on the disc at which recording or reproduction of data is permitted, performing recording or reproduction of data corresponding to respective LBAs; and

thereafter, for a part on the disc at which the recording or reproduction of data has not been performed, performing recording or reproduction operations for data corresponding to respective LBAs, wherein

after part of the data stored in the memory is recorded or reproduced with being divided, the subsequent data is recorded or reproduced without being divided, and

after part of the data stored in the memory is recorded or reproduced without being divided, the subsequent data is recorded or reproduced with being divided.

4. An information recording/reproducing method for recording data of a different type from a DV signal on a disc as an information recording medium, or reproducing data of the different type from the DV signal, from the disc, comprising:

temporarily storing the data in a memory;

previously setting a LBA at which recording or reproduction of data is started, at a value that is larger than a LBA at which a command is issued and the recording or reproduction of data is permitted;

from the set LBA on the disc, performing recording or reproduction of data corresponding to respective LBAs; and

thereafter, for a part on the disc, performing recording or reproduction of data has not been performed, performing recording or reproduction of data corresponding to respective LBAs, wherein

after part of the data stored in the memory is recorded or reproduced with being divided, the subsequent data is recorded or reproduced without being divided, and

after part of the data stored in the memory is recorded or reproduced without being divided, the subsequent data is recorded or reproduced with being divided.
