Abstract
A disc recording/reproducing apparatus for recording/reproducing multi-channel data simultaneously on a recording medium, the apparatus including channel buffers for recording/reproducing corresponding to the multi-channels, and a recording/reproducing controller for, if there is a channel buffer is filled with data to be recorded among the allocated channel buffers for recording, reading data from the channel buffer to record the data on the allocated continuous space, and if there is an empty channel buffer among the allocated channel buffers for reproducing, writing data read from the recording medium to the empty channel buffer. In the apparatus, the size of the continuous space on the recording medium, the size of the channel buffers for recording, and the size of the channel buffers for reproducing are allocated based on recording/reproducing speed information of a channel in which recording/reproducing is required according to a recording/reproducing request. Accordingly, multi-channel data can be simultaneously recorded and reproduced in real time without channel buffer overflow and underflow.
