Abstract
An information recording and reproducing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a running power controlling and recording unit and an interval adjusting unit which adjusts an interval for performing running power control and makes a suitable ROPC operation possible even if conditions for recording information are changed. When data recording is started, it is determined whether an ROPC operation is to be performed. When the ROPC operation is not to be performed, it is determined whether the data recording is finished, and when the data recording is finished, the operation ends. When it is determined to perform the ROPC operation, the ROPC operation is performed, and it is determined whether interval for performing the ROPC operation is to be changed. When it is determined to change the interval for performing the ROPC operation, the interval for performing the ROPC operation is changed.
