Abstract
A cluster and a cluster are linked by a link frame. The link area includes postamble, post guard, and a slice/PLL area, as well as a link data area. Substantially the same data as that recorded in clusters is recorded in the link data area. The capacity of a rewritable disc can thus be increased.
