Abstract
Methods for maximizing recording efficiency when recording data from a source to an optical media are provided. In one example, a method includes identifying a list of files to be recorded, and then generating a plurality of recording orders for the list of files. A plurality of writing speeds supported by a target optical media recording device are determined, and then each of the plurality of recording orders for the list of files at each of the plurality of writing speeds are evaluated to determine the amount of system cache required and the projected recording time for recording the data. The method selects a single recording order and a single writing speed that minimizes system cache utilization and minimizes actual recording time to record the data from the source to the optical media.
