The capture thing appears to exist: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/hyperdeckshuttle/ - presumably it applies lossless compression. Lossless encoding within the h264 container should be possible.

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought Blackmagic's claim to fame was always being on the low end of the pricing for their tech.
