dmesg says
hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

One other thing to mention is that you need to check that the DVD drive
is actually running in DMA mode. Use the hdparm command to do this. You
should see something like this:
$ sudo hdparm /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
You can ignore the last line as it's only applicable to hard drives. If
the DVD drive isn't running in DMA mode, turn it on with hdparm like this:
$ sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc
