<Start/My Computer> lists all available drives, that's a no-brainer on Windoze. But please don't get me started on "Please insert a disc into drive D:" - god that is so awful!

So anyway, are you the author of Knots2? Or porter to maemo? Or did you just write the wiki and/or this thread?

Because I want to say, I am EXTREMELY impressed with it so far. Considering my level of technical expertise, (which is much higher than your average iPhone user but abysmal when compared to most of the lLinux wonks around here), I was able to get the program functioning in a very short period of time.

And was I pleased with the results! Streaming video (from DVD ISO's no less!) anywhere in the house, with transcodes on the fly - well, that is simply impressive (we do love VLC, though, always have).

And I have one observation, which makes me especially excited. I used Knots to view a BluRay rip I have siting on my box, and it is at 720p. I was just wondering if it would lag or if the N900 screen would balk. Well, it played flawlessly.

So, has Knots figured out a way to transcend the 480 vertical barrier? It seems like it has.
