growisofs problem

In 5.2.1-RELEASE, I get the following message when I attempt to 
overwrite a DVD-RW that already contains some data:

WARNING: /dev/cd2 already carries isofs!
About to execute 'mkisofs -R -J -f /tmp/burndvd/ | builtin_dd 
of=/dev/pass4 obs=32k seek=0'
mkisofs: Warning: -follow-links does not always work correctly; be careful.
/dev/pass4: "Current Write Speed" is 2.0x1385KBps.
:-[ WRITE_at_LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/ASC=21h/ACQ=02h]: Invalid argument
:-( attempt to re-run with -dvd-compat -dvd-compat to engage DAO or 
apply full blanking procedure
:-( write failed: Invalid argument

Is there a way to burn on DVD-RWs without going through the extremely 
long blanking procedure.  I've found that if I go and reformat the disc 
it works, but it takes _forever_.

The drive is:
acd2: DVDR <PLEXTOR DVDR PX-708A> at ata1-slave UDMA33

The firmware version on the drive is 1.06 (I think this is the latest).

Any ideas?
