Abstract
With two consecutive product-coded ECC blocks, EBand EB, as a set, the rth row of first ECB block EBis followed by the rth row of second ECC block EBin such a way that the first row of first ECC block EBis followed by the first row of second ECB block EB, which is followed by the second row of first ECC block ECB, which is followed by the second row of second ECC block EB, and so on, to interleave data on a row basis. That is, data of two ECC blocks, EBand EB, is allocated alternately on a row basis. This allocation method allows an error to be distributed after reproduction even when a serious burst error extending 18 rows occurs in an ECC block.
