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 descriptor, so the parameter list length is always 12 bytes. When the Format Options Valid
(FOV) bit in the Format List Header is set to one, the DPRY, DCRT, STPF, IP, Try-out, and VS shall be set to zero. In this case,
the format operation is 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
FOV bit set to one, the drive’s default setting itself will not be changed.
4.3.1 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.

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 run condition of the writing buffer, the
execution of the command is deferred until the blank area of the buffer grows to be able 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 occurs, the data in a buffer is recorded and it ends. Eject or read request is
performed continuously.
In the recording state ,if a buffer-under-run occurs, 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 2 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 Write (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-out value is valid in normal operating condition. If the drive is in abnormal condition, for example play backing the
damaged area on the media, the time-out value will be grower by the drive to return from emergency condition of servo
mechanism.
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.
