A method for determining the completeness of an optical disc and a method for playing the optical disc are provided. The method for playing the optical disc includes: performing focusing on and tracking on the optical disc; detecting whether the optical disc contains any data if the focusing on succeeds while the tracking on fails; if the optical disc contains data, turning on a servo system to perform focusing on and tracking on to the area containing the data and determining whether a file information area contains a file system; if the file information area does not contain any file system, reading the outmost data in a video data area to locate a file allocation data table; and playing the data stored in the video data area according to the file allocation data table.

A rotation speed control apparatus for a disk recorder is provided, which includes a buffer monitor and a rotation speed decision maker. According to the amount of data in the buffer, the buffer monitor outputs a buffer data. According to the buffer data, the rotation speed decision maker outputs a disk-rotation-speed signal. According to the disk-rotation-speed signal, the disk recording speed of an optical storage system is adjusted by the rotation speed control apparatus to avoid disk recording interruption due to lack of buffer data.
