Recording medium for storing linking type information, method of processing defective area using the same, and recording and/or reproducing apparatus therefor

摘要: A recording medium storing linking type information, a method of processing defective area in the and and/or reproducing apparatus therefor. The stores information indicating that is applied immediately after area, distinguishing which occurs general incremental mode from area. Defective areas are detected registered predetermined (recording management data (RMD) area) before user recorded or while being having plurality continuous basic units, such as digital versatile disc-rewritable (DVD-RW) can be done repeatedly. Linking not only an restricted overwrite mode, but also to defect list, increasing reliability data. In addition, test signal data, groove wobble pattern, mark has functions advance block during certification. If new number error correction code (ECC) blocks following without using linking, reducing time for advantageous real-time recording.
