Funny how VDR doesn't function properly when the discs aren't DMA enabled 
:)

Another stupid user error: I installed a new VDR box with a brand new 
Gentoo Linux and forgot to check that DMA was enabled. Of course it was 
not, so disc performance sucked and things did not work properly. 
Everything seems to be fine now.
