A disc which insures a normal performance of an optical disc driver (ODD) and a method of manufacturing the same by accounting for disc defects. A reflectivity of the disc is within a range of 45 70% and a birefringence of the disc is within a range of 100 150 nm. Since the acquisition and manufacture of marginal discs which account for defect factors are possible, the influence of the defect factors can be continuously limited. Thus, a predetermined quality of discs can be used in the ODD.
