[CentOS] Only 1.2x when burning DVD

Hello all

I've got a Matshita dvd-ram uj-830sx that is performing very bad on my
freshly installed CentOS 5. I'm using k3b and get a steady 1.2x which is
way too slow. I think it is supposed to do ~8x and the discs are 16x.
Any suggestions?
(hdparm -c 1 -d 1 /dev/hdc turned on 32-bit IO but only helped slightly)
