HD-BURN FORMAT
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

The IEC draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of

HIGH DENSITY RECORDING FORMAT
ON CD-R/RW DISC SYSTEMS –
HD-BURN FORMAT
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the HD-BURN format applied to CD-R/RW discs. The
HD-BURN system is capable of recording the information in double density compared to the
conventional CD-R/RW disc. It enables the realization of products with high reliability, high
speed and interchangeability, and is especially suitable for consumer applications with high
cost-performance.
This document describes:
– the physical characteristics for the recording and playback;
– the track structure of a disc,
– the data structure in the track;
– logical format structure.
2 Normative references

4 Convention and notations
4.1 Representation of numbers
A measured value is rounded off to the least significant digit of the corresponding specified
value. It implies that a specified value of 1,26 with a positive tolerance of +0,01, and a
negative tolerance of –0,02 allows a range of measured values from 1,235 to 1,275.
– Letters and digits in parentheses represent numbers in hexadecimal notation.
– The setting of a bit is denoted by ZERO or ONE.
– Numbers in binary notation and bit combinations are represented by strings of 0 and 1.
– Numbers in binary notation and bit combinations are shown with the most significant bit to
the left.
– Negative values of numbers in binary notation are given in Two's complement.
– In each field the data is recorded so that the most significant byte (byte 0) is recorded first.
Within each byte the least significant bit is numbered 0 and is recorded first, the most
significant bit (numbered 7 in an 8-bit byte) is recorded last. This order of recording
applies also to the data input of the error detection and correction circuits and to their
output.

PMD lead-in shall be recorded with only two ECC blocks.
The entire capacity of PMD varies from one medium vender to another since PMD uses lead-
in on the CD-R/RW media.
EXAMPLE
In the case of lead-in start address closest to program area address, the lead-in capacity is in
the range of 97m50s00f ~ 99m59s74f and approximately 130 s.
In the above case, converted ATIP sector number 9 750 calculated by 130 s × 75 frames.
In the case of applying this status to the HD-BURN recording, available minimum lead-in
capacity is as follows;
9 750 sectors/8 ATIP sectors = 1 218 ECC blocks, where all digits below the decimal point are
dropped.
The capacity in the lead-in area varies in each disc model.
The above case shows a minimum capacity example.

8.8 Format of the user data area
See Figure 1 for start address of program area.
The position of PSN 030000h is the same position as that of 00minutes/00seconds/00frame.
A minimum record unit is one ECC block.
8.9 Format of the lead-out area
For the physical sector in the lead-out area, the attribute of the lead-out area shall be set in
area type, which exists in the sector information.
The main-data of lead-out shall be recorded to 00h.
Calculate the size based on ATIP sector:
1 First session: For 90 s -> (90 s x 75 frames x 2) + 4 frames
= HD-BURN lead-out capacity
2 Second session For 30 s -> (30 s x 75 frames x 2) + 12 frames
and afterwards = HD-BURN lead-out capacity

NOTE Lead-out exists in each session. The lead-out size of the first session is different from that of the second
session and afterwards.
The lead-out structure is the same as that of CD/DVD's lead-out structure.
9 File system
The file system should be based on the following standards;
