There are two basic recording modes defined: Sequential Recording Mode SRM and
Random Recording Mode RRM. The latter is optional and for now not topic of this

- SRM Formatting
- Writing a session in SRM-POW
(- Pseudo-OverWrite SRM+POW)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SRM Formatting:
Despite being write-once media BD-R can optionally carry some formatting.
SRM has a disc structure model with tracks and sessions.
Several tracks may be open at the same time, each having its own NWA.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 4.5.3.5.2.2)
This structure is formatted onto blank media automatically as soon as the
first serious write attempt occurs.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 4.5.3.5)
Before such a write attempt, blank media may be explicitely formatted with
spares, which provide defect management.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 4.5.3.5.3)
Tracks get created from other tracks via RESERVE TRACK splitting.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 4.5.3.5.2.5)
On top of defect management there may be Pseudo-OverWrite SRM+POW, a costly
way to write several times to the same LBA. See below.
Fully sequential states are called SRM-POW.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 4.5.3.5.4)
Explicite formatting is done by 04h FORMAT UNIT. Its data payload consists
of a Format List Header and a Format Descriptor. It is advisable to set
the Immed bit and the FOV bit in header byte number 1. The descriptor should
be a copy of a descriptor from 23h READ FORMAT CAPACITIES but the size may be
adjusted within a certain range.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.5, 6.5.3.2, 6.5.3.3)
Format type 00h creates SRM layouts with a default number of spares (or
eventually RRM) chosen by the format sub-type:
00b = SRM with support for POW
01b = SRM without POW (but with some spares for defect management)
10b = (RRM)
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.5.4.2.1.6)
Format type 32h uses the same sub-types but allows to allocate non-default
amounts of spares. Similar to BD-RE format 31h, three format descriptors are
offered: #1: default size, #2: maximum spare area, #3: minimal spare.
The size may be chosen within that range.
The sense behind the Type Dependent Parameters is obscure
to me. Best will be to set ISA_V and TDMA_V to 0.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.5.4.2.1.17)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Writing a session in SRM:
The procedure and constraints for writing BD-R SRM-POW are very similar to
DVD+R. libburn flatly re-uses its DVD+R code except the Close Function for
finalizing a disc.
In short:
If all written sessions are closed, then there is exactly one NWA.
In the beginning there is an empty session and track. A new track can be
written either with pre-announced size (by RESERVE TRACK) or open-end by
simply starting to write to the NWA. When done the track gets closed by
close function 001b. Then either session or disc gets closed depending on
the Close Function used:
- Close Function 010b closes the session and keeps the media appendable
(same as with DVD+R)
- Close Function 110b finalizes the media and makes it read-only.
(differs from libburn DVD+R procedure which uses 101b)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pseudo-OverWrite POW: (no used yet by libburn)
This enhancement of SRM emulates overwriting of existing data blocks.
(mmc5r03c.pdf 4.5.3.5.4)
POW establishes a virtual vLBA space on top of the real address space rLBA.
All read and write commands deal with vLBA. It seems that track NWAs are
assumed to be identical in vLBA space and in rLBA space.
It is not clear whether one may write to vLBA blocks which are neither written
yet nor at one of the track NWAs. Probably not, or else one could make NWAs run
into vLBAs which are associated with older rLBAs.
Replacing invalidated blocks consumes addresses in rLBA space at the NWA of
some track. I.e. no spares are consumed by POW. Nevertheless it is costly by
a special map called Orphanage. It covers rLBA which have been consumed
by differing vLBAs. It never shrinks and can grow with each write to remapped
addresses.
To avoid heavy Orphanage growth it is advised to write mostly to vLBA which
still coincide with their rLBA. E.g. those addresses which have neither been
written as rLBA nor as vLBA yet. So one should begin the vLBA of new sessions
at the NWA of a sufficiently sized track.
