Thank you for the hints, but I've also checked hdparm before asking for help, 
it seems alright to me (but how to get detailed dma mode informations?):

dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 2498/255/63, sectors = 40132503, start = 0

/dev/hdc:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 524/255/63, sectors = 8421840, start = 0

Power saving spindown is also disabled on the drive where /video is mounted, 
though it is enabled on the drive where /VDR is.

(Recording was working perfectly with old vdr 1.0.4).
