ww2ogg

Audiokinetic Wwise RIFF/RIFX Vorbis to Ogg Vorbis converter by hcs

NOTE: Prefer vgmstream

If you don't need Ogg Vorbis output and just want to play the audio, I recommend using vgmstream instead of ww2ogg. It has extensive support for playing Wwise files directly. Improved features include:

• decoders for Opus and many proprietary game console codecs
• looping
• improved .wem metadata parsing
• .bnk support
• TXTP playlists to control complex playback with multi-segment streams
  • these can be generated with wwiser

Usage

Standard usage is just

ww2ogg input.bin

which will convert input.bin to input.ogg.

You can also specify an output file with -o, as in

ww2ogg input.ogg -o output.ogg

Troubleshooting

• If the conversion seemed to go well but you get a nonsense output file

  • first try setting the alternate packed codebooks:

  ww2ogg input.ogg --pcb packed_codebooks_aoTuV_603.bin

  • then try also setting --no-mod-packets:

  ww2ogg input.ogg --no-mod-packets --pcb packed_codebooks_aoTuV_603.bin

  • You can try other combinations of --pcb, --no-mod-packets, and --mod-packets, but these are the common ones that work.

• Parse error: expected 0x42 fmt if vorb missing suggests that the input is not Vorbis data at all, and so it is not supported by this program.

• Error opening packed_codebooks.bin means the ww2ogg couldn't find the packed_codebooks.bin file that comes with the program. Either run ww2ogg in the same working directory as packed_codebooks.bin, or give the path with the --pcb switch

  other_dir/ww2ogg input.ogg --pcb other_dir/packed_codebooks.bin

• Parse error: invalid codebook id 0x342, try --full-setup

  follow the suggestion and use --full-setup

Note:

It is a good idea to run the output through revorb to get smaller, cleaner files than ww2ogg generates currently.
