I don't know why you need a hybrid image - for ages I have used
livecd-iso-to-disc to write the DVD install iso to a usbkey and it
works fine for me (for several generations of Fedora as released as
well as the alpha and betas). You do need a reasonably up to date
Fedora system to run the command but certainly if you have f13 or f14
it should be fine - (of course you have to have a large enough usbkey
to hold the full file! and you also need to have it unmounted when you
run the livecd-iso-to-disc command, and of course need livecd-tools
installed on the system that will write the usbkey!)
