Abstract

An RF signal is read from a rewritable DVD while rotating the rewritable DVD. The read RF signal is converted to pulse signals according to different threshold values, and the number of pulses of each pulse signal is counted. Indexes IBSmin, IBMmax, IBS, and IBRmax are determined from the relationship between the counted numbers and the threshold values, and the recording quality of the BCA on the rewritable DVD is evaluated by judging whether these indexes satisfy the following inequalities:IBMmax/IBSmin≦0.8IBRmax/IBS≦1.5
