> Just copy it into the WSL file system
Yea bro totally. Totally. I'm gonna copy 2TB of media into the WSL virtual disk just so ffmpeg can run a little faster but still way slower than simply running linux.
(I beta tested the shit out of WSL1 and 2) before I wised up and just installed Gentoo forever.
You can run that directly on Windows.
But either way yeah most people aren't dealing with large media libraries that's obviously a little more difficult. But if you are primarily operating on them with WSL then you would just keep them in the WSL file system and you could access them from Windows whenever you need to...
