Abstract
Methods and computer readable media with program instructions for dynamically determining write speeds of an optical media device are provided. In one example, a method includes setting a device set write speed to a maximum write speed of the optical media device, and then verifying that the device set write speed is as just set. If the optical media device is verified to be as just set, a current set write speed is saved. The device set write speed is then decreased by an increment and the device set. The device set write speed is again verified to be as just set, and saved if verified. The method continues to decrease the device set write speed by an increment, set, verify, and save until the device set write speed is set to zero. Only verified set write speeds are presented as options for user interaction for the optical media device.
