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
