1. A method of forming a barcode on an optical disk, said method comprising;
- a) providing the optical disk which has a substrate having a track thereon, a reflective layer disposed over the track and an identifier, the identifier indicating the presence or absence of the barcode on the optical disk; and
b) trimming a part of the reflective layer with laser beam to form the barcode,wherein at least a part of the barcode is formed on the track, the substrate of the optical disk has a control data area thereon, said control data area containing physical feature information of the optical disk, andthe barcode is formed on a region which is located inwardly to the control data area.

Abstract
Disclosed is an optical disk barcode forming method wherein, as information to be barcoded, position information for piracy prevention, which is a form of ID, is coded as a barcode and is recorded by laser trimming on a reflective film in a PCA area of an optical disk. When playing back the thus manufactured optical disk on a reproduction apparatus, the barcode data can be played back using the same optical pickup.
