I've got the same (or a very similar) problem with a VCD. I purchased a VCD of the Hindi movie "Hanuman" when I was in India. I've played other VCDs from India on my Windows XP, Mac OS X, and Linux boxes, but this "Hanuman" VCD refuses to be played on any of them. I purchased the VCD in a "Planet M" store in a very large mall, so I'm pretty sure it's an authorized disc and not a pirate knockoff.
I thought to rip the video tracks out to MPEG, and just play those. However, on my Ubuntu box, "vcdxrip" gives:

More interesting, "vcd-info" gives the following and then aborts due to an assertion failure:
stderr

Following up on "USL India. http://www.uslindia.com" it's a CD copy protection company "Ultra Softlock Private Limited". As far as I can tell, the VCD disc is protected by their DiscKeeper Video protection scheme, and neither vcdxrip nor vcd-info truly understand it.
Good news, it's not a pirate disc. Bad news, I still can't watch the movie on any of my computers. Any developers interested in this VCD should contact me by e-mail at: -unavailable-
