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).
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.

Just about, HD-DVD = 292Mbps, UB2 = 480Mbps.
Not sure about burning and stuff though.
