I'm considering picking up an UltraStudio Mini Recorder to capture an HDMI feed from a PowerPoint presentation to a MacBook Pro for a corporate event. The catch though is that the event is three hours long and I believe ProRes is a bit overkill in terms of file size. I will be intercutting the resulting files with 24 mbps AVCHD footage from three cameras, editing in native H.264 in FCPX. Will Media Express allow me to capture into any more compressed formats, such as H.264 QuickTime files or similar? Furthermore, is there any reason why I shouldn't try to capture to a more compressed format vs ProRes? This is a new workflow for me, so I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
