Abstract

An optical disc having a plurality of user data written to the disc from a lead-in zone to a lead-out zone, the disc comprising a plurality of control display data composed of a plurality of subcode registers, each having a value, where the control display data are written to the disc interposed with the user data and written to the lead-out zone and hidden data encoded within one of the subcode registers in the lead-out zone. The p-bit register in the lead-out zone of the optical disc required to toggle at a rate of 2 Hz. In one second, the optical disc reader reads 75 p-bit registers, therefore a perfect 2 Hz toggling cannot be achieved. The location of a p-bit state composed of a fewer number of p-bit sector is used to represent a bit value of hidden data.
