Formatted DVD-RW media and +R/+RW/+R DL media.
The Immed bit is supported.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command or READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command is used to
detect completion of the close operation. While close operation is performed by the CLOSE
TRACK/RZONE/SESSION BORDER Command that the Immed bit is set to one, the drive terminates these
commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, OPERATION IN PROGRESS
(2/04/07).
Note: The TEST UNIT READY Command can not use to identify the completion of close operation because
the this command returns Good status while close operation is performed.

If a background format is in progress and de-icing is not completed, the format
de-icing operation will be stopped at some +RW ECC block boundary. No further
writing will occur. If there is no background format in progress, then no operation
shall occur and this will not be considered an error.
The drive closes the track associated with the track number in the CDB.
If the track is an invisible track, no close operation is to be done.
If the track is an incomplete track, the drive will write the PMA for the track. If
the incomplete track has the length of less than 4 seconds, it will pad with all
zero main data to the minimum length of 4 seconds prior to write the PMA. No
other padding shall be done.
If the track is a partially recorded or empty reserved track, the drive will pad until
the end of the track. In the case of an empty track, the drive will write the track
according to the Write Parameters Page. If the Write Parameters Page is
inconsistent with the PMA, CHECK CONDITION status will be returned and
SK/ASC/ASCQ will be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST/ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK.
For a partially recorded reserved track, the drive will continue writing in the same
mode as the data already recorded.
Not valid
If this is a Partially Recorded Reserved RZone or the Empty Reserved RZone, the
drive will pad the RZone with 00h bytes. If the RZone status is Invisible, no close
operation is to be done. In the case of an Incomplete RZone, no padding is to be
done and cached RMD will be written into the RMA.

If the Fragment being closed is an incomplete Fragment and the incomplete
Fragment is not blank, then a new DCB will be appended into the Session
Identification Zone defining the existence of the Fragment.
If the Fragment being closed is an incomplete Fragment and the incomplete
Fragment is blank, then the command will be terminated with GOOD status and
sense data will be set to NO SENSE/NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
The drive closes the last session.
If not all tracks in the last Session are closed, the drive terminates the command
with CHECK CONDITION status and sets SK/ASC/ASCQ values to ILLEGAL
REQUEST/SESSION FIXATION ERROR – INCOMPLETE TRACK IN SESSION.
Behavior of the closing operation is dependent on the Multi-Session field in the
Write Parameters Page (05h). If the last session is empty, the command will be
terminated with GOOD status.
Not valid
The drive closes the last border.
If all RZones in the last Border are not complete, the drive generates CHECK
CONDITION Status, 5/72/03 SESSION FIXATION ERROR - INCOMPLETE TRACK IN
SESSION.
If one or more empty or partially recorded reserved RZones exist in the
incomplete Border, the drive generates CHECK CONDITION Status, 5/72/04
EMPTY OR PARTIALLY WRITTEN RESERVED TRACK.
Behavior of the closing operation is dependent on the Multisession/Border field in
the Write Parameters Mode Page (05h). Closing an empty Border does not
produce an error and a write to the media will not occur.
When the last bordered area is in the intermediate state, Lead-in and/or Borderout are recorded to make the bordered area complete state. (If the bordered area
is to be closed that is the first one, Lead-in and Border-out will be recorded. If the
bordered area is to be closed that is second or later one, only the Border-out will
be recorded.)
If a background format is in progress, the format operation will be stopped and
the disc will be structured for removal according to the
Format Specifications
To be concrete, a [partial] lead-in will be written, a [temporary] lead-out will be
appended and all unrecorded gaps between lead-in and lead-out will be format
written. The radius difference between the start of the temporary lead-out and
the end of the temporary lead-out will approximate 1 mm. The data zone will be
expanded to ensure that the total recorded area reaches at least a radius of 35
mm.
The drive closes the last session.
If not all Fragments in the last Session are closed, the Drive will terminate this
command with CHECK CONDITION Status and sense data shall be set to ILLEGAL
REQUEST/SESSION FIXATION ERROR/ INCOMPLETE TRACK IN SESSION.
If upon completion of the closure, less than 65 ECC blocks would remain, the
drive will finalize the disc.
If the session being closed is session number 154, when the close session is
requested, the drive will finalize the disc.

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 Format)
Formatting for the entire media is specified. The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of
addressable blocks for the entire disc and the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies the Block Length.
If the Immed function is set to zero, the drive will return the status after the format operation has
completed. If the Immed bit is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command
descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command and the
TEST UNIT READY Command is used to detect completion of the format operation. While format operation
is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is set to one, the drive terminates
these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS
(2/04/04). If the drive returns Good status for these command, format operation has completed.

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.

The LRA_V bit is always set to one for DVD-RAM, and the value set in The Last Recorded Address fields
was decided in Format Unit Command.
The NWA_V bit is always set to zero for +RW because the Next Writable Address field is invalid for such
type of media.
The LRA_V bit is always set to zero for +R/+RW because the Last Recorded Address field is invalid for
such type of media.
For CD-R/RW media written by SAO, the Track Size is computed as follows; TrackSize = PMAStopTime –
PMAStartTime – 2. This means the last 2 blocks are not encountered as same as the track written by TAO.
If the track is the incomplete track (i.e. RT=0), the Read Compatibility LBA is present. Read Compatibility
LBA is an approximation of a logical block address at or beyond a 30mm disc radius on L0. The host can
use this address as a minimal pad limit prior to closing the current session in order to maximize
compatibility with read-only devices. If the L0 The host can also use this address as a lower limit for the
