The Format Unit parameter list shall be transferred from the Host to the drive. The data sent to the drive consists of a Format List  
Header, followed by one Format dscriptor, so the parameter list length is always 12 bytes. When the Format Options Valid  
(FOV) bit in the Format LisHeader is set to one, the DPRY, DCRT, STPF, IP, Try-out, and VS shall be set to zero. In this case,  
the format operatiois performed with an Immed function specified by the Immed bit. When the FOV bit is set to zero, the  
DPRY, DCRT, STPF, IP, Try-out, Immed, and VS shall be set to zero. In this case, the format operation is performed with the  
drive’s internal default setting. The default setting of Immed function is one. Even if the format operation is requested with the  
FOet to one, the drive’s default setting itself will not be changed.  
3.1 Format Code = 001b  
4.3.1.1 Format Type = 00h (Full Forma for C/DVD-RW / Default Format for BD-RE/R)  
4.3.1.1.1 On DVD-RAM media  
The defect list handling is specified by the combination of the CmpLst bit and the DCRT bit. In the case that the CmpLst bit is  
set to zero and the DCRT bit is set to one, the Number of Blocks field shall be ignored and the number of addressable blocks  
shall be retained. In other cases, the Number of Blocks field specifies the number of addressable blocks for the whole disc and  
the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies the Block Length. Neither field is changeable from the values reported by READ  
FORMAT CAPACITIES command.  
The defect list handling is decided by the following combinations.

Notes : For +R DL media, the Last Possible Lead-out Start LBA is set as follows.  
1) In case of the disc which has no complete status, it is set to the following value.  
The value = ( L0 Data Zone Capacity + 1 – 30000h ) x 2 – Extended Partial Lead-out Size  
As for the L0 Data Zone Capacity,  
if it has not been changed from the default value, it is set to the Last Possible Physical Sector of the Data Zone on Layer 0 in  
ADIP,  
and if it has been changed from the default value, it is set to the Actual last PSN of Data Zone on Layer 0 in TOC.  
As for the Extended Partial Lead-out Size,  
if the disc has an Extended Partial Lead-out, it is 30000h,  
and if the disc has no Extended Partial Lead-out, it is 0.  
2) In case of the disc which has a complete status, it is set to the Actual Lead-out Start LBA.

exists on the disc, then the value returned is 00000000h. If the disc has complete status, then the value returned is FFFFFFFFh.  
For +R media, the Last Possible Lead-out Start Address is the LBA found in the ADIP of the discs lead-in. If the disc has  
complete status, then the value returned is FFFFFFFFh.  
For +R DL media, the Last Possible Lead-out Start Address is set as follows.  
1) In case of a disc that has no complete status, it is set to the following value.  
The value = ( L0 Data Zone Capacity + 1 – 30000h ) x 2 – Extended Partial Lead-out Size  
As for the L0 Data Zone Capacity,  
if it has not been changed from the default value, it is set to he Last Possible Physical Sector of the Data Zone on Layer 0 in  
ADIP,  
and if it has been changed from the default vaue, it is sthe Actual last PSN of Data Zone on Layer 0 in TOC.  
As for the Extended Partial Lead-out Size,  
if the disc has an Extended Partial Lead-out, it is 30000h,

4.22 WRITE (10), WRITE (12) Command  
The RelAdr bit is not supported and must be set to zero.  
If the drive received a WRITE (10) or a WRITE (12) Command which causes an over rn conditon of the writing buffer, the  
execution of the command is deferred until the blank area of the buffer grows to be e to receive whole the data specified in the  
command. In this period, the interface bus is held by the drive.  
A recording start is carried out when one of the following conditions is realized
1)Write Buffer fills.  
2) SYNC CACHE command is received.  
In the recording state ,if eject or read request occure daa in a buffer is recorded and it ends. Eject or read request is  
performed continuously.  
In the recording state ,if a buffer-under-run ocurs, the drive leaves data for 1ECC and interrupts record operation temporarily  
until It receive the following Write command.  
The Streaming bit of the WRITE (12) Command is reflected to the time-out value of write starting. If Streaming bit is set to one,  
the time-out value is set to sec. If Streaming bit is set to zero time-out value is set to 5 sec. The drive maintains the Streaming  
bit of the latest Writ(12) Command and determines the time-out value by maintained Streaming bit when writing operation is  
started. If sequential data are transferred, the Streaming bit of all WRITE (12) Command needs to keep same value.  
The time-ouvale is valid in normal operating condition. If the drive is in abnormal condition, for example play backing the  
damarea on the media, the time-out value will be grower by the drive to return from emergency condition of servo  
mecm.  
The FUA bit and the TSR bit are not supported and these are ignored.  
For BD-RE/R, if the Streamig bit is set to one, Stream recording operation is used.  
The VNR bit of WRITE(12) is applicable to BD-RE/R.  
4.23 WRITE BUFFER Command  
This command is used for checking the drive or firmware update.  
The specifications of this command are vendor unique.
