Claim One:
1. A method for determining write strategy parameter values for writing data on an optical disk from a group of optical disks of different types using an optical disk drive, comprising: identifying ( 100 ) the type of optical disk using the optical disk drive, the type of optical disk associated with a standard write strategy with standard write strategy parameters, determining ( 102 ) a cluster write strategy with cluster write strategy parameters, the number of cluster write strategy parameters being smaller than the number of standard write strategy parameters, initializing ( 104 ) the cluster write strategy parameters with initial cluster write strategy parameter values, optimizing cluster write strategy parameter values for at least a subset of the cluster write strategy parameters in a pre-determined optimization order, and determining an optimum of a quality parameter, testing the optimum of the quality parameter against a pre-determined threshold, and wherein the optimizing of the cluster write strategy parameter values is stopped once the optimum of the quality parameter exceeds the pre-determined threshold.
