ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an optical recording medium and optical recording medium record/playback apparatus and method, for managing defective areas in a rewritable optical recording medium. Particularly, the present invention adds a linear replacement control (LRC) bit to a secondary defective list (SDL) entry to discriminate a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a linear replacement algorithm from a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a skipping algorithm. This allows the optical recording medium record/playback apparatus to transmit correct information to a host. Furthermore, when a defective block requiring a new replacement block is found while recording or playing back data when the spare area is full, instead of carrying out the linear replacement, the LRC bit is set in the SDL entry along with the location information of the defective block to indicate that the corresponding SDL entry was made when the spare area was full, whereby data is not written in the defective block or data of the defective block is not read when rewriting or reproducing the data afterward. Consequently, the present invention can provide efficient management over the optical recording medium.
