ABSTRACT:
A modulating method and apparatus and a demodulating method and apparatus in which a variable length code (d, k;m, n;r) which can provide a greater minimum reversal distance to allow recording of a higher density than ever is provided. According to the modulating method and apparatus, digital data of a basic data length of m bits is modulated into a variable length code (d, k;m, n;r) of a basic code length of n bits, and where the distance between adjacent ones of the digital data is represented by T, the minimum reversal distance of the variable length code is equal to or greater than 2.0 T and the minimum length of a run of a same symbol is equal to or greater than 4. The demodulating apparatus demodulates the digital data back into the variable length code and comprises storage means for storing therein a plurality of tables for converting the digital data into the variable length code, discriminating means for discriminating the binding length of the digital data, and selecting means for selecting one of the tables in accordance with a result of discrimination of the discriminating means.
