CAVS to WVE conversion is the process of transforming video files encoded in the CAVS container/codec into the WVE format so they can be played, edited, or delivered using tools and devices that require WVE. This conversion remuxes or re-encodes audio/video streams and adjusts metadata, codecs, and container settings to match WVE specifications while aiming to preserve playback quality.
