Convert WEM to OGG

Understanding WEM and OGG file formats

WEM is a proprietary audio file format developed by Audiokinetic. It's primarily used in the Wwise (Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine) platform, which is a popular tool for creating and integrating sound, music, and special effects in video games.

OGG is a free, open container format maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It allows users to stream and alter high-quality digital multimedia files. The name “Ogg” derives from the software’s development project, which was called “ogging”, or “jargon from computer game Netrek”.
