Since the VEM format is a proprietary video format, VEM video files can only be played with Meta Media Video Player.

The VEM files, for this application, are files compressed with Sony's Virtual Expander utility.

Virtual Expander is a file compression and decompression program included in Sony Micro Vault flash drives.

Files compressed with Virtual Expander are saved in the VirtualExpander_WW folder.

When viewing the files directly in the folder, they may have the same file name and extension as the original uncompressed file.
