Have a look at Marco's codec tests at
http://www.onerivermedia.com/codecs/index.htm and also snuffle though
Kim's article "uncompressed 10-bit capture boards for the Mac" at
http://www.dv.com/features/ (registration required).

You might want to check out the new $995 DeckLink at
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/ which uses Grant Petty's excellent
codec, same as the Aja Kona.

Theory LLCs' Microcosm codec does a great job of compressing losslessly
while minimizing file size, too.
