ABSTRACT:
An optical disc having address information recorded in a wobbling manner is arranged to record or reproduce data at correct positions. A track is previously formed as a pregroove and is wobbled in accordance with address information. The track is divided into a plurality of sectors. A plurality of sync marks S are formed in each sector, and at least one of the sync marks in one round of the track is formed as a reference mark R different from the other sync marks S. To reduce overhead and to achieve high-density random recording and reproduction, a method may also be used in which one cluster of data is formed of a data area and a link area located between data areas and consisting of two frames, in which each of the data area and the link area has a structure formed of unit frames separated by a sync signal (frame sync), and in which data is recorded or reproduced as unit clusters.
