The AVerMedia AVerDVD EZMaker WDM Video Capture driver allows Windows to communicate with your capture hardware so compatible software can receive a video signal. Installing the appropriate AverMedia driver helps the device appear correctly in Device Manager and become available as a capture source for recording software.

Key Features

• Hardware recognition: Provides the device-specific support Windows needs to identify and operate the AVerDVD EZMaker capture device.
• WDM capture interface: Makes the hardware accessible to video applications that support the Windows Driver Model capture interface.
• Video input access: Enables compatible software to work with the capture device’s supported inputs when a suitable video source is connected.
• Recording software integration: Supplies the driver layer required for capture applications to preview and record incoming video. Recording controls, editing tools, and export formats depend on the software you use.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version and system type. Before downloading, confirm whether your PC runs Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit system. Verify that the specific driver package supports your configuration; older capture hardware may not have compatible drivers for every Windows release.

1. Download the matching driver. Choose a package explicitly intended for the AVerMedia AVerDVD EZMaker WDM Video Capture device. Similar EZMaker product names can refer to different hardware, so check the model information before proceeding.

1. Prepare for installation. Close video capture applications and extract the download if it comes as a compressed archive. Follow the package instructions regarding when to connect or power on the capture hardware.

1. Install the driver. Run the included setup program and follow its prompts. If the package contains driver files without an installer, open Device Manager, locate the capture device or unidentified hardware, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted folder.

1. Restart and test the capture connection. Restart Windows if prompted, then check Device Manager for warning icons. Open your capture application, select the AVerMedia device as the video source, and choose the input connected to your playback equipment.

If the device is detected but no picture appears, check the source connection, playback state, and input selection before reinstalling the driver. A driver enables hardware communication; it does not necessarily include a recording application.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the AVerMedia setup as administrator in Windows 7 compatibility mode. If Windows blocks the old WDM driver, use the official signed package or manually install the INF via Device Manager; reboot before testing.
• Device not detected: Connect the EZMaker directly to a rear USB 2.0 port, not a hub. Check Device Manager for “AVerMedia AVerDVD EZMaker WDM Video Capture” with a warning icon, then rescan/update driver. Confirm the video cable and source are active.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older AVerMedia capture drivers and duplicate entries, enable “Show hidden devices,” remove stale devices, reboot, then install one driver package only. In DirectShow apps, select the EZMaker device and set the correct PAL/NTSC input.
