BADAK
Free iriver movie converter
(X20, E10, Clix, U10, iMP, PMP and H300 series)

Background:
BADAK is an extremely easy to use and reliable program for coverting movies for your iriver. Since iriver did not develop this software, they do not offer any support for it, nor do they promote it, even though it is far superior than their inhouse programs. Just follow the instructions to install, and enjoy!

Badak supports English, Korean and now Chinese (see below).

- Download BADAK, the presets, and the codecs here (BADAK, Presets, Codecs).
- The presets included are for iMP, PMP, U10 and H300 series.
- BADAK is a frontend of MENCODER and was not developed by iriver.
- BADAK supports MPEG, MPEG 4, WMV codecs but certain codecs such as RM or QuickTime have to be downloaded from the Codecs link.
- Subtitles are automatically inserted if a subtitle file is located in the same location and file name with the movie file, (see below).

- Process : Install BADAK -> Install Preset file -> Run BADAK -> Select a Preset -> Convert a movie file.
