I did a quick test with the following setup:
- linux-2.6.4-rc1-mm2
- cdrecord.prodvd 2.01a25
- UHCI driver -> older VIA motherboard (no high-speed usb)
- Imation media (see below).

No problem to write 1.5G image to the disk ... but awfully slow.
More tests when I receive a newer PC with high speed usb.
