I downloaded both the i686 and x86_64 F14 iso images. Both images check correctly. I wrote the i686 DVD without problems. However, the x86_64 version has failed all 4 times I have tried. I tried it once with nautilus (don't remember the error) and 3 times using wodim directly. The error generated the last time I tried is:

I haven't been able to get wodim to do anything useful for a long time. It seems to completely screw up the write speed and winds up failing. I usually use k3b and tell k3b to use the growisofs app to do the actual writing. It always works much better.
But actually, I never write DVDs for the install media anyway, I find the hard disk install technique runs faster and is more convenient to use since I don't have to find and fool with media.

For whatever it is worth: - omit speed (let it figure out the optimal speed) # wodim -v dev=/dev/scd0 Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso - you did not specify the media, so just in case you use DVD-RW - make sure that it is unmounted # umount /dev/scd0 - blank it # wodim -v blank=all dev=/dev/scd0 Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso
