Abstract
An optical disk recording device providing disks adapted for direct access reproduction and a direct access reproducing method thereof. A recording location of a disk at a user-selected direct access unit time or a user-selected time point is stored as a reproduction starting address. Prepared pictures or pictures selected by a user during recording data on the disk are recorded as choice menus on the disk. A direct access table is generated in which reproduction starting addresses are cross-referenced with recording locations of the choice menus. The direct address table is recorded in a specific area of the disk. During reproduction, the direct access table is read and the choice menus are read from the disk according to the recording locations of the choice menus included in the direct access table. A direct access menu picture is generated and displayed. Data at a recording location of the disk corresponding to the reproduction starting address of a user-selected choice menu is reproduced in response to a user's selection.
