Canopus DVstorm 2 Pro capture card?
 
Hi, I found this card in my box from back in the days, I see on ebay that people are pricing that card for 200$. What's the deal with that card ? Is it working on Win 10 maybe ?

Depends on driver availability and compatibility with modern software, DV back then considered high quality video format for editing compared to mpeg used in videoCD, by today's standards it is considered lossy, so the software that comes with it is useless. Install the card and find out for yourself.

I really wanted a DVstorm card ... in 2000 (Y2K).

In the 2020s, it's worthless. It runs on an ancient version of Canopus Edius software, intended for pre-XP OS. It's not a legacy card, it's just plain damned old and useless now. Odds of it connecting to anything like VirtualDub is near zero. It was a hardware DV card, intended for an NLE setup. Low-end "affordable" small studio production.

$200 is insane. Maybe $20.
