WEBM to SOU conversion is the process of transforming a video file in the WEBM container format into the SOU format so it can be played or processed by tools that require SOU. This conversion remuxes or re-encodes video and/or audio tracks from WEBM (commonly using VP8/VP9 and Vorbis/Opus) into the SOU target structure while preserving compatibility and desired quality settings.
