I have no experience using USB cameras with camera1394. Some people have reported success with them.

With high-bandwidth cameras like yours, I would worry about USB 2.0 bus contention. Unlike IEEE-1394, USB does not guarantee isochronous bandwidth.

It might help if you can attach the cameras to separate USB controllers.
