An optical disc has a wobble pregroove which continues in a
circumferential direction of the optical disc and wobbles in a radial
direction of the optical disc such that the wobble pregroove meanders
around a mean center line of meandering. Information recording process is
performed by the steps of irradiating an optical beam along the wobble
pregroove to form pits, thereby recording information in the form of the
pits, and controlling the recording of the information in accordance with
a radial distance of the wobble pregroove relative to the mean center
line of meandering. Information reproducing process is performed by the
steps of irradiating an optical beam along the wobble pregroove to
optically detect pits which are formed along the wobble pregroove,
thereby reproducing information in the form of the detected pits, and
controlling the reproducing of the information in accordance with a
radial distance of the wobble pregroove relative to the mean center line
of meandering.
