yes I thought that was a hardware encoder, but on the other side we can let the computer do the encoding..
Since the 1M/E and 2M/E don't have hardware h.264 encoders, USB 2.0 would be pointless, since it can't handle the bandwidth of uncompressed HD.
I'd suggest getting a compatible USB 3.0 card (~ $30) and either the Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 or UltraStudio USB 3.0, and then you can capture in either uncompressed or compressed (MJPEG or DVCPro50 for compressed).
If you don't want to add a USB 3.0 card, you can always go with the Hyperdeck Shuttle and a SSD drive, that'll capture from the 1M/E.
