Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the
specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with
particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft
International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights.
ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO/IEC 20563 was prepared by JISC (as Standard JIS X.6245:1999) with document support and
contribution from ECMA and was adopted under a special "fast-track procedure", by Joint Technical Committee JTC 1,
Information technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of ISO and IEC.
Annexes A to N form a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes P to T are for information only.

Section 1 — General
1Scope
This International Standard specifies the mechanical, physical and optical characteristics of an 80 mm and a 120 mm DVD -
Recordable disk to enable the interchange of such disks. It specifies the quality of the pre-recorded, unrecorded and the
recorded signals, the format of the data, the format of the information zone, the format of the unrecorded zone, and the
recording method, thereby allowing for information interchange by means of such disks. This disk is identified as a DVD -
Recordable (DVD-R) disk. Once data has been recorded on a DVD-R disk it cannot be modified. It can be read many times.
Further data may be appended.
This International Standard specifies
• 80 mm and 120 mm nominal diameter disks that may be either single or double sided,
the conditions for conformance,
the environments in which the disk is to be operated and stored,
the mechanical and physical characteristics of the disk, so as to provide mechanical interchange between data processing
systems,
the format of the pre-recorded information on an unrecorded disk, including the physical disposition of the tracks and
sectors, the error correcting codes and the coding method used,
the format of the data and the recorded information on the disk, including the physical disposition of the tracks and sectors,
the error correcting codes and the coding method used,
the characteristics of the signals from pre-recorded and unrecorded areas on the disk, enabling data processing systems to
read the pre-recorded information and to write to the disks,

This International Standard provides for interchange of disks between disk drives. Together with a standard for volume and file
structure, it provides for full data interchange between data processing systems.
2 Conformance
2.1 Optical Disk
A claim of conformance shall specify the type of the disk, i.e. its size and whether it is single-sided or double sided. An optical
disk shall be in conformance with this International Standard if it meets the mandatory requirements specified for this type.
2.2 Generating system
A generating system shall be in conformance with this International Standard if the optical disk it generates is in accordance
with 2.1.
2.3 Receiving system
A receiving system shall be in conformance with this International Standard if it is able to handle an optical disk according to
2.1.

The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not
apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of
applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the
normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

4 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
4.1 Adhesive layer: A layer of adhesive material bonding together the two parts of the disk.
4.2 Channel bit: The elements by which, after modulation, the binary values ZERO and ONE are represented on the disk
by marks.
4.3 Clamping Zone: The annular part of the disk within which a clamping force is applied by a clamping device.
4.4 Digital Sum Value (DSV): The arithmetic sum obtained from a bit stream by allocating the decimal value 1 to bits set
to ONE and the decimal value –1 to bits set to ZERO.
4.5 Disk Reference Plane: A plane defined by the perfectly flat annular surface of an ideal spindle onto which the
Clamping Zone of the disk is clamped, and which is normal to the axis of rotation.
4.6 Dummy substrate: A layer which may be transparent or not, that is provided for the mechanical support of the disk
and/or of a recorded layer.
4.7 Entrance surface: The surface of the disk onto which the optical beam first impinges.
4.8 Groove: A trench-like feature of the disk, applied before the recording of any information, and used to define the track
location. The groove is located nearer to the entrance surface than
