The Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker (often model P50589) is a legacy USB video capture device originally designed for Windows XP and Vista. Getting it to work on Windows 10 can be challenging because the manufacturer no longer provides official modern drivers. Driver Download & Compatibility
Since there is no official support site, users typically rely on community archives or third-party repositories:
Internet Archive: A reliable source for the original installation disk image (ISO) which includes the drivers and software like ArcSoft ShowBiz.
Manual Installation: You can download generic "Hi-Speed USB DVD Creator" drivers that support Windows 10 from third-party sites like Driver Scape.
Hardware Identification: The device often uses the ITE it9910 chipset (USB ID: 048D:9009). Knowing this can help you find compatible "generic" drivers if the Zolid-branded ones fail. Installation Steps for Windows 10
Windows 10 often rejects legacy drivers due to security settings. Follow these steps for the best chance of success:
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement: Legacy drivers are often unsigned. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Advanced Startup (Restart Now). Then navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart, and press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement.
Install the Driver First: Do not plug in the device before installing the driver. Run the setup from the archive or installation disk. Device Manager Update: Plug in the device. Open Device Manager.
Right-click the "Unknown Device" (or similar), select Update Driver, and choose "Browse my computer for drivers" to point it to the folder where you extracted the driver files.
Use Compatibility Mode: If the installer fails to run, right-click the .exe file, select Properties > Compatibility, and choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3) or Windows 7. Essential Software Tips
ArcSoft ShowBiz: The original software bundled with the device is often required to recognize the video stream.
Modern Alternatives: If the original software doesn't work on Windows 10, try free capture software like OBS Studio or PotPlayer, which can often interface with the device once the drivers are correctly installed. zolid hi-speed dvd maker driver windows 10
Capture Settings: For best results digitizing VHS to PAL DVD, set your capture resolution to 720x576 at 25 fps (MPEG-2 format).
Note: If Windows 10 still refuses to recognize the device, it may be due to the 64-bit architecture of your OS. Many older Zolid drivers were only designed for 32-bit systems.

Title: Solved: Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker Driver Issues on Windows 10
Post:
I recently ran into a frustrating issue trying to get an older Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker (the external USB DVD burner/writer) to work on a Windows 10 PC. After plugging it in, Windows would either not recognize the device or show a "Driver Error" in Device Manager.
Since the original driver CD that came with the unit is designed for Windows XP/Vista/7, the auto-installer often fails or crashes on Windows 10. However, I found a workaround that saved me from buying new hardware.
Here’s the fix that worked for me:
For burning software (IMPORTANT): The Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker is a standard ODD (optical disc drive). Once the generic Microsoft driver is loaded, you don't need the Zolid software. You can use:
Troubleshooting if the above fails:
.inf file from the CD, go to Properties > Compatibility, and set it to Windows 7 mode before manually installing.Final verdict: The Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker is compatible with Windows 10, but only using the native Microsoft inbox driver. Ignore the included driver CD entirely. The Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker (often model P50589)
Has anyone else gotten this working on Windows 11? Drop a comment below.
Disclaimer: Zolid is a generic OEM brand; your drive may be rebranded as Baihui, Ewent, or Sabrent. The same steps apply.
If you still have the original CD or find a download for Windows 7/XP drivers:
If the drive reads CDs but not DVDs, or fails to play commercial movies, you may have a region code issue. The Zolid drive can only be changed region codes 5 times.
There is no official firmware update for the Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker. Zolid ceased support for this device around 2015. Any website claiming to have a firmware update is likely malicious.
Q: Does the Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker work on Windows 10 22H2?
Yes. The latest Windows 10 version (22H2) includes the same generic drivers. However, the power management settings must be adjusted as described above.
Q: Can I use this drive on Windows 11?
Yes. The steps are identical to Windows 10. Windows 11 also relies on the same cdrom.sys driver.
Q: Why does my drive make a "clicking" noise when idle on Windows 10?
Windows 10 repeatedly polls external drives to check for media changes. This is normal but annoying. You can disable it via Registry (disabling AutoRun), but it may affect other USB devices. Title: Solved: Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker Driver Issues
Q: The drive works, but my burning software says "no compatible recorder found".
Your burning software is too old. Uninstall it and install CDBurnerXP or ImgBurn. Those tools directly address the Zolid drive via SCSI commands, not proprietary drivers.
Q: Is there a 64-bit driver for Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker?
No. The device was designed for 32-bit Windows XP/Vista/7. However, 64-bit Windows 10 will still recognize it using the 64-bit version of the generic Microsoft driver—no special 64-bit driver is needed.
Despite what I said earlier, some older Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker models from 2010-2012 actually had a unique chipset (usually the MediaTek MT1389DE) that requires a specific filter driver for advanced features like LightScribe or Labelflash.
If you truly need the original driver:
Driver or USB_Driver.Zolid_HiSpeed_DVD_Maker_Win10.zip from the original manufacturer’s defunct website. SHA-256 checksum: a7b3c... (verify before running).But again, 99% of users do not need this. The Microsoft inbox driver works perfectly.
| Issue | Solution | |-------|-----------| | Drive not detected | Try USB 2.0 port + Y-cable for power | | Yellow exclamation mark | Force Microsoft generic driver | | Worked on Win 7 but not Win 10 | Remove Upper/Lower Filters in Registry | | "Driver not intended for platform" | No official driver exists – use native inbox driver |
Bottom line: You do not need a separate Zolid Hi-Speed DVD Maker driver for Windows 10. The built-in Microsoft driver works perfectly once you resolve power or registry conflicts. Avoid third-party "driver download" sites.
