Abstract

A molding and film forming apparatus 700 molds a disc substrate from a stamper 330 formed from an optical disc disc-master 320 and forms a coating film, for example, a reflective film onto the disc substrate, thereby forming a recorded optical disc 360 . A postscript apparatus 200 writes postscript information once onto an optical disc 340 formed by the molding and film forming apparatus 700 . As postscript information, a laser beam is irradiated to a predetermined interval of the optical disc 340 , a portion which is detected as a pit is formed, and an optical disc 350 on which postscript information 420 has been recorded is formed. Identification information which enables each optical disc 340 to be identified can be postscribed. The postscript information is recorded in a conventional format and the postscript information can be reproduced by an existing reproducing apparatus.

Claims (9)

1. An optical disc medium having a substrate on which a shape according to information data modulated by a modulating method in which a minimum inverting interval and a maximum inverting interval have been specified has been formed and a coating film formed on the substrate, wherein

predetermined postscript information has been recorded into predetermined recorded information data by recording said predetermined postscript information to said coating film so as to comply with the rule of said minimum inverting interval and said maximum inverting interval.

2. An optical disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein said information data is main information.

3. An optical disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein said information data is secondary information for control.

4. An optical disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein said postscript information is disc identification information.

5. A data recording method of forming an optical disc medium having a substrate on which a shape according to information data modulated by a modulating method in which a minimum inverting interval and a maximum inverting interval have been specified has been formed and a coating film formed on the substrate, wherein

predetermined postscript information is recorded into predetermined recorded information data by recording said predetermined postscript information to said coating film so as to comply with the rule of said minimum inverting interval and said maximum inverting interval.

6. A data recording apparatus for forming an optical disc medium having a substrate on which a shape according to information data modulated by a modulating method in which a minimum inverting interval and a maximum inverting interval have been specified has been formed and a coating film formed on the substrate, wherein

predetermined postscript information is recorded into predetermined recorded information data by recording said predetermined postscript information to said coating film so as to comply with the rule of said minimum inverting interval and said maximum inverting interval.
