Is usb 2.0 bandwith good enough for HD Quality?

Highly Ranked

Yes, easily. HD-DVD video requires 36 Mbps bandwidth, whereas High-Speed USB 2.0's can practically provide 200 Mbps bandwidth (from a 480 Mbps theoretical maximum).

Just about, HD-DVD = 292Mbps, UB2 = 480Mbps.

Not sure about burning and stuff though.

Please ignore my previous comment, but take heed of the fact that many web sites consider bytes and bits to be pretty much interchangeable.

Wow, I thought USB 2.0 was a lot more limited than that. Still. It's not a good idea to put a solid speed cap on a protocol. It needs to be able to scale up to whatever is available.
