VCD's will almost always play on a DVD decoder program such as PowerDVD.

Are you talking open the trick where you shift & click, and open with Windows Media player?? Version 6.4 and 7 will but I dont if the other version will. I found out that trick by mistake. The way you do it, is to find the huge file on the vcd(usually in a folder that says mpegav or something to that effect, right click on it while holding the shift key, the box will come up with open, ..open with, highlight open with, then after you do this find windows media player(if that's waht you have) then choose it, a ugly warning message will come up and say something running system files ...blah blah blah, click yes to open the file(remember to take the check mark out the box when you open with, and then BAM it should start up.
