Method of contiguously recording a sequence of ordered A/V information
signals, such as video/audio information, and corresponding management
information signals, such as video management, menu information or file
information, on a disc-like recording medium of the write-once type, such
as an optically recordable and readable disc. The recorded information
complies to the requirements of ordering of such information as defined
by a disc of the read-only type or of the rewritable type. The method
comprises allocating a reserved area within a linear addressing space of
the disc, contiguously recording the A/V information signals in a video
recording area located succeeding the reserved area, recording
corresponding management data in a temporary overview space succeeding
the video recording area, generating a mapping table for mapping the
recorded management data to address locations in the reserved area and
recording the mapping table in the temporary overview space. When
finalizing the disc, the recorded management information signals is
copied to the reserved area in correspondence to the latest mapping table
information and the remaining unrecorded sections of the reserved area is
recorded with arbitrary data signals.
