I ended up ordering the Elgato from the online Mac store last night. If it works as advertised, I should get lots of use out of it.
IN the meantime I’ll read more about the MXO2. Just in case I ever get a MacBook Pro.

I have some done some compressing speed tests and I can compress the EX1 footage to 640×380(or whatever is) with single-pass quality at about a 1:1.5 ratio, in other words, 10 minutes of footage compresses in 15 minutes. If I put the Elgato in the mix, I think that’ll be fast enough turn around to suit the client.
