Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour enregistrer des données dans un support d'enregistrement. Ce procédé pour enregistrer des données dans un support d'enregistrement, comprenant une zone de test ondulée, consiste a) à déterminer une zone de test pré-utilisée, b) à rechercher un emplacement de départ OPC actuel de la zone de test en comptant le nombre d'ondulations à un emplacement de référence de comptage d'ondulations, c) à exécuter un processus de contrôle de la puissance optimale (OPC) pour calculer une puissance d'écriture optimale à l'emplacement de départ OPC et d) à enregistrer des données dans une zone de données en utilisant la puissance d'écriture optimale calculée. Par conséquent, ce support d'enregistrement peut être appliqué à un procédé de fabrication d'un disque Blu-ray. De plus, un processus de test de disque et des opérations de lecture/enregistrement de données peuvent être exécutées de manière efficace.
