Description

  The present invention relates to an address conversion program for performing predetermined address conversion on a multilayer recording medium in which a plurality of recording layers are stacked and information can be recorded in each recording layer and information can be recorded in a plurality of recording sections. The present invention relates to a recording program that incorporates an address conversion program into a computer, a storage medium that stores the address conversion program and the recording program, and an information processing apparatus that incorporates or performs the incorporation of the address conversion program.

  CD-R / RW drives capable of recording information compatible with CD-ROM drives are known. Basically, a medium recorded by a CD-R / RW drive is compatible with a CD-ROM and can be read by a general CD-ROM drive.

  However, CD-R / RW has a recording method called packet write. There are two types of packet write methods called variable length (variable) packets and fixed length (fixed) packets. Of these, the medium recorded by the latter method is addressing method 2 (Addressing Method 2). Logical addresses are managed by an address management method called method 2). This method is a method in which link blocks (runout + link block + run-in) are not addressed as logical addresses and are skipped. If this method is not supported, the recorded medium cannot be read. This method is hardly supported by a CD-ROM drive, and recorded information cannot be read.

  Therefore, an application program (device driver) that performs address conversion is installed in a host computer to which a CD-ROM drive that does not support Method 2 is connected, and can be read even by a CD-ROM drive that does not support Method 2. Yes. Recent CD-ROMs support this method, and can be read without any problem.

  On the other hand, a DVD-ROM reads information recorded in the first session (border) in a normal DVD-ROM on a medium recorded by a recording method called DVD + R multi-session or DVD-R / RW multi-border. However, the information after the second session could not be read. This is because the DVD-ROM has one session and one track structure, and thus the medium recorded in the above multi-session (border) cannot be read correctly.

  At present, however, information recorded in multi-sessions can be correctly read out even with a DVD-ROM by an application program such as address conversion.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228842 allows a CD-RW to perform control related to a change process for a disk whose data change process is not defined in the physical format of the disk with minimal control from a host device. Techniques aimed at achieving this are disclosed. That is, when the disk is inserted into the CD-RW drive, the CPU of the host apparatus performs a replacement process on the CD-RW disk via the CD-RW drive under the control based on the CD-RW device driver in the RAM. The information is read, an interface command of the replacement processing information is issued and reported to the CD-RW drive.

JP 2000-148212 A

  Incidentally, unlike a CD, a DVD-ROM includes a disc (hereinafter referred to as a two-layer DVD-ROM) in which two recording layers are laminated on one side. On the other hand, DVD + RW / R, which is a recordable disc, has so far only a single-sided recording layer formed due to technical problems. When backing up a dual-layer DVD-ROM, I couldn't fit it in, so I had to save it in two pieces.

  However, recently, the development of a DVD + R (hereinafter referred to as “double-layer DVD-R”) in which two recording layers that are reproduction-compatible with a reproduction-only dual-layer DVD-ROM are laminated on one side and a recording device for the same has been developed. . Its capacity is about 8.4 GB, which is about twice that of an existing DVD + R with one recording layer on one side, and backup of a dual-layer DVD-ROM or the like can be performed with this single disk.

  Accordingly, a device driver or the like corresponding to a recording medium (hereinafter referred to as a multilayer recording medium) in which two or more recording layers are stacked and information can be recorded on each recording layer, such as such a two-layer DVD-R. Is not known, and when a conventional DVD-ROM drive is used to read information recorded on such a multilayer recording medium, the same problem as described above occurs, and the recorded information cannot be read. .

  Then, in order to improve the reproduction compatibility with the above-described double-layer DVD-R, the following two recording methods are considered.

  The first is to record sequentially from the beginning of the logical address of the first recording layer in the same manner as a normal DVD-ROM, and the second layer is recorded after the first layer has been recorded. In this case, the logical addresses are continuous. In the case of this method, data recording is completed in the middle of the second layer, and there is an unrecorded state in the second layer, that is, the first layer is in a recording state at a certain position on the recording surface of a certain disc. Experiments show that when the eye is in an unrecorded state, when the address of the first layer is reproduced with a normal DVD-ROM drive or the like, the focus is lost or the error increases and the reproduction cannot be performed. It has become. Therefore, in order to maintain complete ROM compatibility, dummy data or the like must be recorded in the unrecorded portion of the second layer, but in this case, it takes an enormous amount of time to record the entire second layer. .

  The second method covers the first drawback, and is a method in which data is sequentially recorded on each recording layer and the first and second layers are recorded. In this case, by recording the first layer and the second layer with the same data amount, the first layer and the second layer are always in the same recording state. With this state as one session, data equivalent to a closure defined in an existing DVD + R having one recording layer on one side is added to the end of the last recording address of each layer. It can be expected that reproduction compatibility with the ROM is increased, and the above problem can be avoided.

  However, when data is additionally written from such a state, when data is additionally written by a so-called multi-session method, there is a possibility that continuity of logical addresses may not be obtained. When data is added in the above case, the logical address becomes the first layer of the first session → the second layer → the first layer of the added session → the second layer, and the logical address becomes discontinuous. In a normal DVD-ROM drive, reading becomes impossible. In order to read such a disc with a normal DVD-ROM drive, a software program for converting discontinuous addresses into continuous addresses is required. For this purpose, such a software program is stored in a personal computer. It is necessary to install it, and it becomes difficult to distribute such a disk to a person or read it in another environment, which deteriorates convenience.

  An object of the present invention is to enable a multi-layer recording medium to be read by a reproducing apparatus such as an existing DVD-ROM drive.

  The present invention relates to a multi-layer recording medium in which a plurality of recording layers are stacked so that information can be recorded in each recording layer and information can be recorded in a plurality of recording sections. A computer that causes a computer to execute address conversion processing that performs address conversion so that logical addresses in the discontinuous recording range are continuous when the recording range is discontinuous between the recording layers because it exists across layers It is an address conversion program that can be read easily.

  According to the present invention, since address conversion is performed so that logical addresses in a discontinuous recording range are continuous, a multilayer recording medium can be read by a reproducing apparatus such as an existing DVD-ROM drive.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information recording / reproducing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. The information recording / reproducing apparatus 1 implements an information recording apparatus for recording information on a recording medium D and an information reproducing apparatus for reproducing information on the recording medium D. Specifically, an example of a DVD + R / RW drive It is.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information recording / reproducing apparatus 1 is configured to record on a recording medium D by irradiating a laser 2 with a motor 2 that is a driving source for rotating the recording medium D, a rotation control system 3 that controls the motor 2. , An optical pickup 4 that performs reproduction, a pickup control system 5 that controls the pickup 4, a coarse motion motor 6 that serves as a drive source for moving the pickup 4 in the radial direction of the recording medium D, and a coarse motion motor that performs the control A control system 7, a signal processing system 8 that performs predetermined processing on the signal from the pickup 4, an external interface 10 for exchanging signals with the host computer 9 of the information recording / reproducing apparatus 1, and the information recording / reproducing apparatus 1 A controller 11 having a microcomputer for centrally controlling the whole and a nonvolatile memory serving as a storage medium in which a program for operating the controller 11 is recorded And a 2. It is an area for storing the nonvolatile memory 12, the disk ID of the recording medium D, the Start address information at a predetermined position of the recording medium D, the End address information, the laser power at the time of recording, and the like. The buffer memory 13 is used as an area where the controller 11 temporarily stores data.

  FIG. 2 shows a DVD-ROM disc (hereinafter referred to as a single-layer DVD-ROM) in which only one recording layer is formed on one side. FIG. 3 shows a case in which two recording layers are laminated on one side. It is explanatory drawing explaining the outline | summary of a structure of a DVD-ROM disc. There are two types of dual-layer DVD-ROM discs (hereinafter referred to as dual-layer DVD-ROMs), OTP discs and PTP discs, but FIG. 3 illustrates an example of an OTP disc.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a DVD disc is basically composed of three areas: a lead-in area, a data area, and a lead-out area. These three areas are an information area and an information area. Called. In the case of an OTP disk, a middle area exists in the outer periphery of each layer as shown in FIG. The physical address (PSN: Physical Sector Number) of the single-layer DVD-ROM is assigned a continuous value from lead-in to lead-out. On the other hand, in the case of an OTP disk, continuous values are assigned from the lead-in to the middle area, but the physical address of the second layer (Layer 1) is a bit-inverted physical address of the first layer (Layer 0). . That is, at the same position on the recording surface, the physical address of the first layer is x3FFFFh, and the physical address of the second layer is 0xFC0000h. Thus, when reproducing data, a single-layer DVD-ROM reproduces data from the inner periphery to the outer periphery, and in the case of an OTP disc, the first layer reproduces data from the inner periphery to the outer periphery, and the second layer from the outer periphery to the inner periphery. Done.

  4 and 5 are explanatory views for explaining the configuration of the multilayer recording medium 101 according to the present embodiment, in which a plurality of recording layers are recorded and information can be recorded on each recording layer. The multi-layer recording medium 101 is an example in which recording is performed in a multi-session on an OTP-type dual-layer DVD + R. FIG. 4 is a diagram when one session is recorded. The first layer (Layer0) has lead-in, data, and middle areas, and the second layer (Layer1) has middle, data, and lead-out areas from the outer periphery. At the end of the first session, There is an area indicating the end of the session. Here, this area is defined as an intermediate zone. This area is composed of the intro and closure defined by DVD + R, 2B indicates the size of this area, B is the size for one recording layer, and this is defined as 2B. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the first session is recorded from a logical address (LBA: Logical Block Address) 0, and the end address of the first layer user data area is represented by “N−1”. The start address of user data on the second layer is defined as “CN”, the end address is defined as “C-1”, and then a lead-out is recorded. In addition, this area may be a special dedicated area for a device driver and an installation program, which will be described later, or the first session may be used as an area for the device driver and the installation program. Here, C is the capacity of the entire multi-layer recording medium 101 and is represented by an expression “C = 2 {(XXXXX) − (2FFFF)}”. XXXXX is the last physical address of the first layer. In addition, the numbers with arrows 1 and 2 in red indicate the order of recording in the session.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which a session is added from the state shown in FIG. In this case, the LBA is naturally allocated at the beginning of the first session or the second session from the end of the special area. In this case, if it is a normal DVD-ROM disc, the physical address is allocated as described above. The same applies to LBA. Therefore, with the unrecorded portion remaining in the first layer as shown in FIG. 5, the LBA is not allocated across the first layer and the second layer, and the LBA starts from the end of the second layer as shown in FIG. It moves to Y, becomes discontinuous, and cannot be read by a normal DVD-ROM drive.

  In FIG. 5, a session is further added to the second session. The third session is a case where the session is further incrementally recorded. In order to record both the first layer and the second layer with the same constant data amount, recording is performed in the numerical order of FIG. In this case as well, the LBA is swept across one layer and two layers.

  FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the function of the device driver 113 that implements the address conversion program of the present invention. An application 111 illustrated in FIG. 6 is an application program installed in the host computer 9, and the application 111 does not directly control the device 114 (DVD-ROM drive). The application 111 includes an OS 112 and a device driver 113. The device driver 113 can be considered as software for bridging the hardware (device 114) and the OS 112 with a mechanism for accessing the device 114 via the network. In general, the device driver 113 is read into the main storage device inside the host computer 9 when the OS 112 is started up, and resides in the device driver 113 so that it can control a device (device 114) that the OS 112 cannot control. It is for adding a function to. If the device driver 113 does not exist, the physically connected device 114 cannot be used from the OS 112.

  When the multilayer recording medium 101 described above is read by a general DVD-ROM drive, there can be a plurality of sessions (sessions) as recording sections via the device driver 113, and the recording range of the session is When the recording range exists in a plurality of layers and the recording range becomes discontinuous, the discontinuous recording range can be converted to continuous. In other words, the device driver 113 can access the target address by performing address conversion as if the LBA is continuous.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing electrical connections of the host computer 9.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the host computer 9 performs various calculations, and a CPU 211 that centrally controls each unit of the host computer 9 and a memory 212 including various ROMs and RAMs are connected by a bus 213. .

  The bus 213 is connected to a magnetic storage device 214 such as a hard disk, an input device 215 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a display device 216, and a storage medium reader 218 that reads a storage medium 217 such as an optical disk via a predetermined interface. An image reading device 221 that reads an image is connected, and a predetermined communication interface 219 that communicates with the network 201 is connected. As the storage medium 217, various media such as an optical disk such as a CD and a DVD, a magneto-optical disk, and a flexible disk can be used. As the storage medium reading device 218, specifically, an optical disk device, a magneto-optical disk device, a flexible disk device, or the like is used according to the type of the storage medium 217. A plurality of them may be connected, and one of them is the information recording / reproducing apparatus 1.

  The host computer 9 reads the program 220 for executing the recording program of the present invention from the storage medium 217 for implementing the storage medium of the present invention, and installs it in the magnetic storage device 214. These programs 20 may be downloaded and installed via a network 201 such as the Internet. By this installation, the host computer 9 can execute processing as described later. Note that the program 220 may operate on a predetermined OS.

  That is, the program 220 is configured by a predetermined control program and the like, and includes, as data for recording, the above-described device driver 113 and an installation program serving as an embedded program for installing the device driver 113 in the computer. .

  FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are explanatory diagrams showing a command descriptor block (CDB) of a get configuration command (GetB) and a DVD + R feature descriptor used when the computer performs processing.

  FIG. 8 shows a command descriptor block of a get configuration command. By transmitting the illustrated command to the information recording / reproducing apparatus 1, what kind of features (features) the information recording / reproducing apparatus 1 has become. The host computer 9 can know whether or not

  FIG. 9 is a DVD + R feature descriptor. For example, the Current bit of Bit 0 of Byte2 is set to 1 if a DVD + R disc is inserted, and if the write bit of Bit0 of Byte 4 is set to 1, the drive is for a 4.7G single layer DVD + R. It can be seen that recording is possible. Here, Dual Write bit is defined in Bit 1 of Byte 4 as shown in FIG. If this bit is 1, it can be seen that recording is possible on a dual-layer DVD + R. If it is 0, it is understood that recording is impossible. Next, Dual Read bit is defined in Bit 2 of Byte 4 as shown in FIG. If this bit is 1, it can be seen that the dual-layer DVD + R can be read without the device driver 113. If it is 0, it means that reading is not possible unless the device driver 113 is installed. In addition, although it defined in this example in this example, it cannot be overemphasized that it is not necessary to specifically limit in this way.

  The command descriptor block of such a get configuration command and the DVD + R feature descriptor are used in processing executed by the host computers 9 and 301 described later.

  Next, processing executed by the host computer 9 according to the program 220 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of processing executed by the host computer 9 in accordance with the program 220. This process implements an embedding unit, and is executed when a user requests data recording on the multilayer recording medium 101 described above. First, when receiving a data recording request from the user (Y in step S1), the CPU 211 determines whether the request is multi-session recording (step S2). If it is not multi-session recording (N in step S2), data recording is performed at the designated address (step S5), and the series of processes is terminated.

  In the case of multi-session recording (Y in step S2), a device driver 113 and a device driver 113 are installed in a predetermined area of the multi-layer recording medium 101, for example, the first portion of the user data area of the first recording layer. The installation program to be installed is recorded (recording means) (step S3). This area may be a special dedicated area as described above for the device driver 113 and the installation program, or the first session may be used as an area for the device driver 113 and the installation program. Next, in the second recording layer, a portion located on the same recording surface as the area where the device driver 113 and the installation program are recorded is recorded as dummy data (recording means) (step S4). Subsequently, data recording is performed at the designated address (step S5), and the series of processes is terminated.

  Next, the multilayer recording medium 101 recorded in the multi-session in the process of FIG. 10 is stored in a host computer such as a personal computer (the configuration is the same as the host computer 9 shown in FIG. The processing executed by the host computer 301 is described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11 when the optical disc apparatus is loaded as an information reproducing apparatus connected to the optical disc apparatus. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 11, first, when the multilayer recording medium 101 recorded in the multi-session is inserted into the optical disc apparatus which is the storage medium reading device 218, the installation program recorded on the multilayer recording medium 101 as described above However, it is automatically activated by known means to start operation (activation means) (step S11). At this point in time, no message or the like is displayed on the screen of the display device 216, and it is operating in the background. Based on the installation program, the CPU 211 executes the following processing.

  First, the aforementioned get configuration command is issued (step S12). Next, based on the return data of the command, it is determined whether or not the optical disk device as the storage medium reading device 218 is a drive that can read the multilayer recording medium 101, in this example, the dual-layer DVD + R (step S13). . If it is possible to read the dual-layer DVD + R (Y in Step S13), the series of processing is terminated without installing the device driver 113 (Step S17).

  If it is not readable (N in step S13), it is checked whether another device driver has already been incorporated in the host computer 301 (step S14). Thereby, it is determined whether or not the multi-layer recording medium 101 can be read without incorporating the device driver 113, and a determination unit is realized. If it is incorporated (Y in step S14), the series of processes is terminated. If it is not incorporated (N in step S14), it is determined that the multilayer recording medium 101 cannot be read unless the device driver 113 is incorporated. Therefore, a message based on the installation program is displayed on the screen (step S16), and the device The user is inquired whether to install the driver 113 (step S17). When the user selects not to install the software (N in step S17), the series of processes is terminated. If it is determined that the device driver 113 is to be installed (Y in step S17), the device driver 113 is installed in the host computer 301 (step S18), the installation completion is reported to the user (step S19), and the series of processing is terminated.

  Unlike the processing of FIG. 11, the multi-session recording multi-layer recording medium 101 is read without incorporating the device driver 113 based on the predetermined program recorded on the multi-layer recording medium 101 by the processing of FIG. 10. It may be determined whether or not it can be performed (determination unit), and the installation program in step S11 may be executed by the computer on the condition that it is determined that reading is not possible unless the device driver 113 is incorporated (starting unit).

  As described above, by using the device driver 113, address conversion is performed so that logical addresses in a discontinuous recording range of a session are continuous. Therefore, the multi-layer recording medium 101 can be used with a reproducing apparatus such as an existing DVD-ROM drive. It becomes possible to read.

  In order to read the multilayer recording medium 101 with a normal DVD-ROM drive or the like, the device driver 113 and the installation program must be read from the multilayer recording medium 101. In this case, these programs cannot be installed unless they are located on the multilayer recording medium 101 that can be read by the conventional DVD-ROM drive or the like without the device driver 113. Basically, if it is at the head of the user data area of the first recording layer, the program can be read even by a DVD-ROM drive that does not support multi-session. Therefore, as described above, since these programs are recorded in the first area of the user data area of the first recording layer (step S3), there is no problem even with a normal DVD-ROM drive or the like, and the device driver 113 is installed. The program can be read.

  In this case, if data is written in the first session of the first recording layer, the device driver 113 can be installed as described above, but it is located on the same recording surface as that recording area. Unless some data is recorded in the area of the first recording layer, the first recording layer cannot be read and the program cannot be installed. Therefore, as described above, since the dummy data is recorded in the second layer area, the above-mentioned program recorded in the multilayer recording medium 101 can be read, and the device driver 113 can be installed from the multilayer recording medium 101 to the computer. .

  If it is determined in step S14 that the program corresponding to the device driver 113 is already incorporated (Y in step S14), the device driver 113 is not installed and is not installed (step S14). N), since the device driver 113 is installed or the installation program is started, it is possible to save unnecessary installation of the device driver 113. Further, when the device driver 113 is read from the multilayer recording medium 101 and already installed, the process of starting the installation program from the same multilayer recording medium 101 can be omitted.

  When reading the multilayer recording medium 101 with a normal DVD-ROM drive or the like, the entire multilayer recording medium 101 cannot be read unless a program corresponding to the device driver 113 is installed. However, it is not possible with a normal DVD-ROM drive or the like to determine whether or not the multi-layer recording medium 101 has been recorded in a multi-session. It is possible to determine whether or not the multi-layer recording medium 101 can be read if the determination in step S14 is performed. To this end, since a program capable of determining this must be started from the multi-layer recording medium 101, the user can Since it is not activated and consequently the device driver 113 is not installed, the recorded information may not be read.

  Therefore, the installation program automatically starts when the multi-layer recording medium 101 is inserted into the playback apparatus (step S11). Therefore, it can be determined that the multi-layer recording medium 101 has been written in multi-session, The device driver 113 for reading can also be easily installed, and the recorded information can be read.

  In the present embodiment, the multilayer recording medium 101 is described as an example of a dual-layer DVD + R having two recording layers. However, the multilayer recording medium of the present invention is not limited to a dual-layer DVD + R, and recording is possible. The present invention can also be applied to a multilayer recording medium having three or more layers.
