- Present DVDs can have a logical file structure in which audio-video content can be stored. Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, at the top of the file structure hierarchy of a DVD 700, one or more titles 701 can exist which can loosely correlate to program episode titles. Titles 701 can consist of control data 702 in addition to one or more Video Object Sets 703 (VOBS). The control data

- Each Cell 705 preferably includes a plurality of Video Object Units (VOBU) 706.
- Each VOBU 706 roughly correlates to a group of pictures which is the smallest addressable chunk in the DVD 700.
- each VOBU 706 can contain an integer number of video frames.
- each VOBU 706 can contain 0.4 to 1 .0 seconds of presentation material.
- a typical VOBU 706 in a commercial motion picture can contain 0.5 second of presentation material.
- each VOBU 706 can include a sequence of packs 707 positioned in recording order.
- each VOBU can begin with a navigation pack 708 (NV PCK or NAV PACK) which can be followed by audio-visual data packs 709, for example video packs (V PCK), audio packs (A PCK) and sub-picture packs (SP PCK) .
- the NV-PCK 708 can contain navigation information, which can be useful in implementing trick modes of operation.
- the NV_PCK 708 also can include presentation control information (PCI) and data search information (DSI) .
- PCI presentation control information
- DSI data search information
- Present DVDs can store data using the Universal Disc Format (UDF) specification.
- UDF Universal Disc Format
- present DVDs can include a directory and set of files within the UDF file format.
- Figure 8 illustrates the directory structure of a typical DVD. According to the DVD-ROM specification, all files in a DVD are stored in directories 801 , 810, 81 5 and 820 below the root directory 800.
- DVD-Video data can be stored a single directory referred to as the VIDEO TS directory 801 .
- the VIDEO_TS directory 801 can contain a Video Manager and one or more Titles.
- the Video Manager can include a Video Manager information file 802, a Video Manager menu file 803, and a Video Manager backup file 804.
- each Title can include a Video Title information file 805A, 805B, a Video Title menu 806A, 806B, one or more video object set files 807A, 807B, 808A, 808B and a Video Title Backup file 809A, 809B.
- DVD-Audio information can be stored in an analogous directory, AUDIO TS 810.
- an optional, root-level directory JACKET P 81 5 can contain identifying images for the DVD in three sizes including thumbnails for graphical directories of DVD collections.
- a DVD can include other files stored in one or more user-defined directories 820.
- Such directories and files typically are placed on the DVD following the DVD- Video data and are ignored by conventional DVD players.
- Recordable DVD media can be used for thousands or even tens of thousands of times for recordings. For each recording, defective sectors in the recordable DVD media potentially can arise. As a result, recordable DVD media can accumulate a substantial number of defective sectors during the operational lifetime of the recordable DVD media. Yet, defective sectors in recordable DVD media can inhibit proper playback of data stored in the recordable DVD media. Specifically, defective sectors in the control data area, such as a control data VOB for a title set, can invalidate the control data. Moreover, defective sectors in video data in a VOBU can cause video freeze or blockiness. Additionally, defective sectors in audio data in a VOBU can cause audio distortion or noise. Finally, defective sectors in a menu area can damage a menu.
- defective sectors in the control data area such as a control data VOB for a title set
- defective sectors in video data in a VOBU can cause video freeze or blockiness.
- defective sectors in audio data in a VOBU can cause audio distortion or noise.
- defective sectors in a menu area can damage
- a defective portion of the video tape may not affect the quality of the signal substantially during playback.
- a defective sector can significantly affect playback quality causing a loss of navigation information and control data, video freeze, blockiness, loss of audio information and menu corruption.
- defective sectors cannot be identified prior to recording to a re-writable disc, an entire recording can be ruined. Accordingly, defective sector checking can be critical to a successful digital disc recording.
- re-writable DVDs each have a defect list that is generated by the manufacturer. Those sectors which are determined to be defective are added to the defect list so that the defective sectors will be skipped during a recording session. Notwithstanding, in most cases, defect checking cannot be performed in realtime during a recording session. Moreover, to inspect a re-writable DVD for defective sectors by scanning the entire re-writable DVD can consume several 4 hours depending upon the capacity of the re-writable DVD and the front-end speed of the re-writable DVD recorder. Accordingly, it can be impractical to delay the user for the time required to perform the inspection prior to permitting the user to begin recording.
- a method for updating a defect list in a DVD can include playing back the
- the method can include removing from the defect candidate list a reference to each sector for which a corresponding reference has been added to the defect list.
- the determining step can include identifying each sector having a reference in both the defect list and the defect candidate list; removing the identified sectors from the defect candidate list; and, determining whether each sector remaining in the defect candidate list is a defective sector.
- the step of identifying each sector having a reference in both the defect list and the defect candidate list can include sorting the defect candidate list in a structured order; sorting the defect list in the structured order; and, subtracting the sorted defect candidate list from the sorted defect list. Notably, the subtraction can result in the identified sectors.
- the sorting steps can include sorting the defect candidate list in ascending order; and, sorting the defect list in ascending order.
- the sorting steps can include sorting the defect candidate list in descending order; and, sorting the defect list in descending order.
- a method for updating a defect list in a DVD can include processing sectors on the DVD during a playback operation; adding references to selected ones of the processed sectors to a defect candidate list; identifying defective sectors among the selected ones of the processed sectors; and, adding references to the identified defective sectors to the defect list. Additionally, the method can include removing from the defect candidate references to each sector for which a corresponding reference has been added to the defect list.
- the step of adding references to selected ones of the processed sectors to a defect candidate list can include detecting an unrecoverable error during the playback operation; identifying a processed sector associated with the unrecoverable error; and, adding a reference to the identified sector to the defect candidate list.
- the identifying step can include identifying each sector having a reference in both the defect list and the defect candidate list; removing references to the identified sectors from the defect candidate list; and, determining whether each sector remaining in the defect candidate list is a defective sector.
- the step of identifying each sector having a reference in both the defect list and the defect candidate list can include sorting the defect candidate list in a structured order; sorting the defect list in the structured order; and, subtracting the sorted defect candidate list from the sorted defect list.
- the subtraction can result in the identified sectors.

- a device 1 00 for implementing the DVD-ROM backwards-compatible defect management method in accordance with the inventive arrangements taught herein utilizes a recordable, re-writable disk medium 1 02 in accordance with the inventive arrangements is shown in block diagram form in Figure 1 .
- the re-writable disk medium 1 02 is embodied as a re-writable DVD in the illustrated embodiment.
- the re-writable disk medium can also be, for example, a hard drive or a magneto optical disk (MOD) .
- An example of a MOD is a minidisk.
- the inventive arrangements are applicable to video or audio or both video and audio.
- the device 1 00 is capable of writing onto and reading from recordable DVD media, in this example, a re-writable DVD 1 02.
- the device comprises a mechanical assembly 1 04, a control section 1 20, a video/audio input processing path 140 and a video/audio output processing path 1 70.
- the allocation of most of the blocks to different sections or paths is self-evident, whereas the allocation of some of the blocks is made for purposes of convenience and is not critical to understanding the operation of the device.
- the mechanical assembly 1 04 comprises a motor 106 for spinning the disk 1 02 and a pickup assembly 1 08 that is adapted to be moved over the spinning disk.
- the pickup 108 and the motor 1 06 are controlled by a servo 1 1 0.
- the servo 1 1 0 can receive a playback signal of data which can be read from a spiral track of the disk 1 02 as a first input.
- the playback signal also can be an input to an error correction circuit 1 30, which can be considered part of the control section or part of the video/audio output processing path.
- a laser on the pickup assembly 1 08 can direct laser light at an interior layer surface of the disk 1 02. Depending upon the data stored on the disk 102, the laser light can be mostly reflected or mostly absorbed. The pickup assembly 1 08 can interpret reflected light as one type of electrical signal while light absorbed by the interior layer surface of the disk 102 can be interpreted as a second type of electrical signal. In the preferred embodiment, transitions between reflectivity and non-reflectivity are mapped to a digital signal referred to as the playback signal which corresponds to the data stored on the disk 1 02. By comparison, during recording, a laser on the pickup assembly burns spots onto a spiral track on the disk 1 02 in order to digitally record video and/or audio program material. More particularly, the disk 1 02, which can include at least one interior crystalline recording layer, can exhibit two distinctive states, amorphous or crystalline, each having different reflectivity characteristics. Those different levels of reflectivity can be detected by optical sensors in the pickup assembly 1 08.
- the interior recording layer of the disk Prior to recording, the interior recording layer of the disk is in a crystalline state exhibiting high reflectivity.
- the light intensity of a laser beam can be modulated to write amorphous data marks on the surface of tracks in the interior crystalline recording layer.
- the energy of a laser pulse can quickly raise the surface temperature of the interior crystalline recording layer above the layer melting point. Once above the melting point, the interior layer can transition from a crystalline state of high reflectivity to an amorphous state of low reflectivity. Subsequently, the rapid cooling of the layer prevents the molecular structure of the interior layer from reorganizing into a crystalline state.
- digital data can be mapped to a series of laser pulses which can write a digital code to the disk 1 02 which can correspond to the digital data.
- the disk 1 02 can have either one or two recordable sides. Additionally, the disk 1 02 can have multiple recordable layers per side. However, for purposes of understanding the invention, the number of sides and layers is irrelevant. Moreover, in the event of a double-sided recording, it also is irrelevant whether the recording of both sides of the disk 1 02 occurs from one or both sides of the disk 1 02.
- the control section 1 20 preferably comprises a controller 1 22 and a navigation data generation circuit 1 26.
- the controller 1 22 supplies a first input signal to the navigation data generation circuit 1 26 and the servo 1 1 0 supplies a second input signal to the navigation data generation circuit 1 26.
- the servo can also be considered part of the control section 1 20.
- the navigation data generation circuit 1 26 supplies a first input signal to the multiplexer (MUX) 1 54, which forms part of the video/audio input processing path 1 40.
- the output of the MUX 1 54 is an input to an error correction coding circuit 1 28.
- the output of the error correction coding circuit 1 28 is a recordable input signal supplied to the pickup 1 08, which will be "burned" onto the spiral track of the disk 102 by the laser.
- the controller 1 22 also preferably has access to the data contained in the track buffer 1 72 and record buffer 1 52 as shown in Figure 1 .
- the controller 1 22 can delete, modify, and reformat video data stored in the track buffer 1 72 and record buffer 1 52 for the purpose of implementing the inventive arrangements.
- Control and data interfaces are also preferably provided for permitting the controller 1 22 to control the operation of packet video encoder 1 44 and audio encoder 1 48 for implementing the inventive embodiments as described herein.
- Suitable software or firmware is provided in memory for the conventional operations performed by controller 1 22.
- program routines for the advanced features 1 34 are provided for controlling the controller 1 22 in accordance with the invention as shall hereinafter be described in greater detail.
- a control buffer 1 32 for viewer activatable functions indicates those functions presently available, namely play, record, reverse, fast forward, pause/play and stop.
- the pause is a counterpart to pause operation in a VCR, for example manually interrupting the play back of a prerecorded program or interrupting the recording of a viewed program to eliminate commercials from the recording.
- a separate pause buffer 1 36 is provided to receive commands for performing the pause during record and playback function.
- the video/audio input processing path 1 40 is a signal processing circuit for converting a conventional television signal, for example NTSC or PAL, into digitized packet data, for example MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, for digital recording by the device 1 00.
- the input path 1 40 comprises an NTSC decoder 1 42 and video encoder, for example MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, 144 for video in, and comprises an audio analog-to-digital converter (A/D) 146 and an audio encoder, for example MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, 148.
- the digitized signals are combined in a multiplexer 1 50 and stored in a record buffer 1 52 until an entire packet has been constructed. As each packet is constructed, each packet is combined with the output of the navigation data generation circuit in the MUX 1 54 and sent to the error correction coding circuit 1 28. Error correction coding circuit 1 28 can also be deemed to be part of the input path 1 40.
- the output processing path 1 70 comprises a track buffer, or output buffer, 1 72, in which data read from the disk is assembled into packets for further processing.
- the packets are processed by conditional access circuit 1 74 that controls propagation of the packets through demultiplexer 1 76 and into respective paths for video and audio processing.
- the video is decoded by decoder 1 78, for example from MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, and encoded as a conventional television signal, for example NTSC or PAL.
- the audio is decoded by circuit 1 82, for example from MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, and converted to analog form by audio digital-to-analog (D/A) converter 1 84.
- the output processing path 1 70 can be deemed to include the error correction circuit 1 30, as noted.
- Device 1 00 can represent a machine having, for example, a 1 X read and
- Such devices can typically have maximum data rates for recording or playing back of approximately 1 1 megabits/second.
- maximum data rates for recording or playing back of approximately 1 1 megabits/second.
- inventive arrangements In order to implement some of the inventive arrangements is necessary to play back (read) and record (write) in a manner that appears to be simultaneous. Clearly simultaneous playing back and recording with such a machine would seem to be impossible, but even such a minimal capability machine can be advantageously operated in accordance with the inventive arrangements to provide apparently simultaneous playing back and recording as well as other inventive arrangements. It will also be appreciated that the inventive arrangements can also be useful for devices having higher data rates.
- program material can be recorded onto recordable DVD media, for example the re-writable DVD of Figure 1 , and played back from the re-writable DVD.
- the re-writable DVD 1 02 as shown in further detail in Figure 2, can consist of two substrates bonded together by an adhesive layer forming a 1 .2mm thick disk.
- a center hole 1 1 8 can be formed in the center of the disk so that a gripping device of the motor 1 06 of Figure 1 can securely grip the disk and control the angular motion of the same in accordance with the inventive arrangements.
- the re-writable DVD 1 02 of the present invention incorporates a land/groove structure and phase change material to record data to disk.
- the land/groove combination forms a continuous spiral 1 1 2, with data recorded alternately on land and groove.
- Data can be written onto the re-writable DVD 1 02 in an outwardly direction along the spiral 1 1 2, beginning with the smaller radius portion of the spiral to the larger radius portion of the spiral 1 1 2.
- the several series of three large dots ( ) denote portions of the spiral not shown in the drawing. Each nearly circular, radially concentric section of the spiral 1 1 2 is sometimes referred to as a track.
- the spiral 1 12 can be formed with a side-to-side wobble, not shown in the drawing, to accommodate media type indexing. Due to difficulties of scale only portions of the spiral 1 6 are shown, and these are shown in greatly enlarged scale. To maintain constant data density across the surface of the re-writable
- the recording surface is divided into twenty-four (24) annular zones.
- Each zone has 1 ,888 tracks, including 944 land tracks and 944 grove tracks.
- Each track is divided into sectors 1 14 (only a single sector is shown for simplicity) .
- the innermost zone has seventeen (1 7) sectors per track. The number of sectors per track increases by one in each succeeding zone. Hence, the outermost zone contains forty (40) sectors per track.
- Each sector 1 1 4 begins with a read-only identification field, embossed onto the disk surface. This identification field, known as the header, is used to identify the physical location of the sector and is kept separate from the user recordable data field, to assure that it is permanently readable.
- the re-writable DVD 1 02 can further include an embossed area 1 1 6 containing read-only data which can identify the type of media, for example DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, or DVD-R.
- Figure 3 is a cut-away view of the re-writable DVD 1 02 of Figure 2.
- a re-writable DVD 102 can include both re-writable data areas and embossed data areas.
- the embossed data for a re-writable DVD 1 02 can be located at the innermost portion of the re-writable DVD 1 02, referred to as the lead-in area 1 1 6.
- the lead-in area 1 1 6 contains information which can identify the type of media, such as DVD-RAM or DVD-R.
- the re-writable DVD 1 02 similarly can include a lead-out area 1 24.
- each zone can have a user area and an associated spare area (not shown) .
- the spare area can be used for the replacement of any defective sector detected in the user area.
- defective sector addressing can be handled using defect management areas 1 22.
- Each defect management area 1 22 can include a list of defective sectors and associated replacement sectors. Additionally, each defect management area 1 22 can contain the same information as other defect management areas 1 22, providing an additional level of redundancy to improve the reliability of the rewritable DVD 1 02.
- a solution for defective sector management in accordance with the inventive arrangements can include modifications of and additions to hardware, firmware and software in the controller 1 22 for recording data to recordable DVD media.
- the present invention can be realized in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software.
- Machine readable storage according to the present invention can be realized in a centralized fashion in one computer system, for example the controller 1 22, or in a distributed fashion where different elements are spread across several interconnected computer systems. Any kind of computer system or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods described herein is acceptable.
- the present invention as described herein contemplates the controller 1 22 of Figure 1
- a typical combination of hardware and software could be a general purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, controls the computer system and a DVD recording system similar to the control section 1 20 of Figure 1 such that it carries out the methods described herein.
- the present invention can also be embedded in a computer program product which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods described herein, and which when loaded in a computer system is able to carry out these methods.
- a computer program in the present context can mean any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following: (a) conversion to another language, code or notation; and (b) reproduction in a different material form.
- the invention disclosed herein can be a method embedded in a computer program which can be implemented by a programmer using commercially available development tools for operating systems compatible with the controller 1 22 described above.
- defective sectors on a rewritable disc are detected and a reference thereto placed in a defect list in the defect management area 1 22 as shown in Figure 3. In consequence, those defective sectors having a reference stored in the defect list are not used for recording.
- the defective sectors on a re-writable disc are checked during each playback of the re-writable disc. If an unrecoverable error is detected when playing back a particular sector, the particular sector can be branded as a defective sector candidate. As such, the particular sector can be placed in a defective sector candidate list. If the particular sector later is verified as a genuinely defective sector, a reference to the particular sector can be added to the defect list in the defect management area 1 22.
- a DVD directory structure in accordance with the inventive arrangements can include below the root directory 400, a DVD-Video directory 401 , a defect list 425, a defect candidate list 430 and corresponding defect list and defect candidate list backup directories 435, 440.
- the DVD-Video directory 401 can include a Video Manager information file 402, a Video Manager menu file 403, and the Video Manager backup file 404.
- each Title in the DVD-Video directory 401 can include a Video Title information file 405A, 405B, a Video Title menu 406A, 406B, one or more video object set files 407A, 407B, 408A, 408B and a Video Title Backup file 409A, 409B.
- the DVD directory structure also can include a DVD-Audio directory 41 0, the JACKET P directory 41 5 and other user-definable directories 420.
- a defective sector identification and verification method in accordance with the inventive arrangements advantageously uses the playback function as a defective sector checking process.
- each sector suspected of a defect during the playback of the sector can be added to a defective candidate list.
- a verification process can determine whether the sectors in the defective candidate list are to be added to the defect list.
- Figure 5 is a flow chart illustrating a process for detecting and tracking suspected defective sectors during the execution of a DVD playback function.
- step 501 first the process can attempt to read a sector in a re-writable DVD. If, in decision step 502, an uncorrectable error is encountered, in step 503 the address of the sector or other suitable reference thereto can be added to a defect candidate list. If, in decision step 504 it is determined that playback should continue, the process can repeat where in step
- the process can read the next sector in the DVD.
- addresses of suspected defective sectors can be advantageously stored in a structured order in both the defect list and (for verified defective sectors) the defect candidate list.
- each can be compared and sectors which are not contained in both lists can be more easily identified.
- both the defect list and the defect candidate list can be sorted in ascending or descending order.
- the defect candidate list can be sorted according to a specified structure, for instance ascending or descending order.
- the verification process can commence.
- Figure 6 is a flow chart illustrating a process for verifying suspected defective sectors subsequent to the detecting and tracking process of Figure 5.
- the verification process can be advantageously executed just before ejection of the disc.
- an existing defect list can be loaded.
- the defect list can be a sorted defect list.
- the defect candidate list can be loaded.
- the invention is not limited to retrieving a previously sorted defect list and defect candidate list. Rather, in an alternative aspect of the present invention, the lists can be retrieved and dynamically sorted in a structured order, for example ascending or descending order.
- the lists can be compared and those sectors in the defect candidate list which are already in the defect list are discarded from the defect candidate list.
- the defect candidate list need only be subtracted from the defect list to determine which sectors in the defect candidate list have not yet been added to the defect list. The remaining sectors are determined to be a set of suspected defective sectors which are to be subsequently verified.
- step 604 the remaining sectors are individually verified to determine whether, in fact, the sectors are defective. If it is determined that a suspected defective sector is in fact defective, in step 605 the defective sector can be added to the defect list and removed from the defect candidate list. Otherwise, the defective sector is simply removed from the defect candidate list. Finally, in steps 606 and 607, the defect list can be sorted according to the structured order and written to the defect list in the re-writable DVD.
