Abstract
A method for handling buffer under-runs during the recording of files to an optical disc is provided. The method includes reserving a track for recording a file system associated with recording of one or more files on the optical disc. Then, the method moves to record the one or more files onto the optical disc in a track that logically follows the reserved track. In case of a buffer under-run, the method proceeds to close a current track and begin a following track after a gap, thus inserting a gap for each buffer under-run. Path tables and directory descriptors of the file system are then written after recording the one or more files. A volume descriptor sequence of the file system is recorded in the reserved track at a time after recording the path tables and the directory descriptor. The file system can also be as defined in the Joliet standard and the UDF standards.
