# My steps to:
# Convert DVD Video to MPEG-4 in MKV without GUI, using only CLI (Command Line Interface) tools.
# No need for MeGUI, Avisynth, Handbrake etc..
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Tools needed: `mediainfo`, `ffmpeg` & `ffprobe`, `x264`, `mkvmerge`, `mplayer` (optional).
# Google for them. Use latest versions. Windows tip: avoid Cygwin and get
# the official builds, x64, when possible.

# Before start use `mediainfo` & `ffprobe` and note down informations about the source material:

# Disable random IPv6 addresses (but keep temporary addresses),
# and use SLAAC address as a preferred IPv6 address in Windows 10
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# UseTemporaryAddresses
#
# Always.   The computer always generates temporary addresses by using random numbers.
# Counter.  The computer generates temporary addresses by using the interface identifier.
#           You typically use this identifier for test purposes.
# Disabled. The computer does not use temporary addresses.

Creating additional virtual hard disk (VHDX) for WSL2 with ext4 filesystem

Lines starting with # mean the commands have to be executed by root user under Linux shell (WSL distro). All other commands have to be executed under Windows-PowerShell as Administrator.

# Console colors for Windows
# --------------------------
# Script outputs console color scheme files for Windows in the followng formats:
# <win>.reg file - Windows legancy console colors
# <putty>.reg file - Putty console colors
# <concfg>.json - concfg.json scheme
# <wt>.json - Windows Terminal color scheme
#
# Windows reg file is for default console. Putty sessions are configurable below, see: `puttySessions` variable.
# Feel free to change the colors. Provided palette is a simple and reasonable default for dark background.
