Abstract
An optical disk device having a TDB read section for reading a write method indicated by a track descriptor block positioned on the outermost peripheral side of an optical disk that has been mounted when power is supplied or the optical disk is replaced, and a TDB storage section for storing the write method read by the TDB read section. When data is instructed to be written to the optical disk, the data is written to the optical disk when the write method thus instructed conforms to the write method stored in the TDB storage section.
