The present invention relates to an apparatus and a corresponding method for determining write strategy parameters for recording data on an optical record carrier ( 100 ) and to an apparatus and a corresponding method for determining read parameters for reading data from an optical record carrier ( 100 ). In order to provide an improved apparatus and method which can be easily implemented in practice, require only a short amount of time and allow for determination of optical write strategy parameters also for discs when also write strategy stored in a media table in the drive, an apparatus for determining write strategy parameters is proposed comprising: initialization means ( 110 ) for setting initial write strategy parameters, -setting means ( 120 ) for setting initial variable levels and an initial experimental plan, based on variations of said initial write strategy parameters, for use in a design of experiments method for optimization of said write strategy parameters, optimization means ( 130 ) for determining optimized write strategy parameters by use of a design of experiments method, and-iteration means ( 140 ) for checking if, based on a predetermined criterion, the optimized write strategy parameters determined by the optimization means ( 130 ) shall be further optimized and, in case the write strategy parameters shall be further optimized, for determining new variable levels and a new experimental plan for use in another iteration of the design of experiments method for further optimization of said write strategy parameters.
