How to Capture More Compressed Formats?

I've got a blackmagic video capture card that allows me to capture HDMI output video from my camera directly into PR. The only option I see when I capture (on my PC) is "Motion JPG". Two questions:

1) Is there some way I can capture other formats? (like quicktime)

2) When I import this "Motion JPG" avi file into my PR on windows it works, I copy that file to MacBook it does not show video. How can I show it on a Mac?

It's not exactly small but it's only 10 seconds or so (150MB)

Dropbox - TestFrmGH4-motionjpg-59.avi https://www.dropbox.com/s/wk4nmfk71rjcbse/TestFrmGH4-motionjpg-59.avi?dl=0

My preference would be to get it more compressed when it goes into PR. Is that something blackmagic has to do with their card or is it something Adobe is doing on the way in?

I think this question is probably better directed at Blackmagic Design.

BM punted and sent it back to me (and Adobe). They said it is up to Premiere for how it wants to encode it once it enters the Premiere Capture function. Sorry if I'm not asking this right. I'm very new here and get lost easily (as you know from other ventures getting lost).

It it BM that decides what goes in the "options" form of the Preferences/Capture dialog?

Actually, that I have a lot of experience with. Thousands of clips. It's a very tedious workflow. thats why I'm going down the hdmi capture path. i am confident there is an optimum solution in that space much better than "record to the card".

Tedious? How so?

Record, transfer, import and edit. Works like a charm.
