Abstract

A recording method of recording information in a dye-based write-once digital versatile disc (DVD) containing a substrate having a wobbled guide groove and a recording layer containing an organic dye. Recording is performed by irradiating the DVD with three kinds of single light pulses. Each single pulse contains a recording area to record a mark and a cooling area having a light quantity not greater than 0.1 mW for a predetermined time. When the mark having a shortest length is formed, the DVD is irradiated with a first single light pulse. When the mark having a second shortest length is formed, the DVD is irradiated with a second single light pulse. When the mark having a third shortest length or longer is formed, the DVD is irradiated with a third single light pulse.
