I used to have a JVC digital cam that could stream good quality mpg4 via 
USB.  To my eyes it looked almost DVD quality. 

What Mark says seems possible but not sure if any hardware actually does 
it.

Although similar in theoretical maximum transfer rate, in real-world 
use, especially for high-bandwidth use such as external hard-drives, 
FireWire 400 generally, but not always, has a significantly higher 
throughput than USB 2.0 Hi-Speed.
