Abstract
When, in the course of recording data to a disk for each basic recording unit, the recording is stopped in the middle of a basic recording unit, data of the basic recording unit of the recording that was stopped remain held in memory. When recording resumes, the recording operation is restarted sequentially from the remaining data held in memory from the position at which recording was stopped. When the remaining data cannot be recorded, dummy data are recorded instead and playback is performed, skipping the dummy data section.
