Benefits of technology

[0008] The present invention provides an optical disc on which defects are managed, and a defect management apparatus and method, which effectively manage a space required for a defect list for managing defects in a disc, and a computer-readable optical disc storing a computer program to control an apparatus to perform the defect management method.

Problems solved by technology

If a defective block occurs in the data corresponding to the physical address, the hard disc drive has to find a replacement block that replaced the defective block.
That is, a defect list entry is generated for each defective block, thus requiring a considerable recording space for the defect lists.
