tscc codec - camtasia

I use Camtasia to record movies with their proprietary codec (results in small files) and have been looking for a way to view them in puppy.

Thanks for the reply

I did find that first, but the first 2 times I wrote the img to floppy it failed... Found the other and it worked. Read a message that floppys sometimes fail even though it reports success. Wrote the image 1 more time and it booted. It gave a bad SMK error though. No worries since the other one work...
