How to play VCD on Linux using VLC

regarding VLC’s playing VCDs. I think I’ve found something.

Open file, In the Open Disc dialogue, click at Disc tab and chosing VCD at disc type gives me this:

vcdx:///dev/hdd :audio-track=0

in the advanced options.
/dev/hdd is my CD-ROM drive, obviously.

I tried changing that to:
vcd:///dev/hdd :audio-track=0

removing the “x” from the MRL. It worked.

With VLC, it works, except that the sound is intermittent.
Cheers!

mplayer
------

It doesn't work for me even I use this:

mplayer vcd://2 or 1



How to know your vcd://**? (for newbies)
Right click at *.dat file and open with mplayer.. Right click at mplayer screen and open vcd dialogue, it will say "failed to open vcd://*. Sometime it is vcd://1 and other time is vcd://2.

I also create new directories..

sudo mkdir /dev/hdd
sudo mkdir /dev/cdrom
sudo mkdir /dev/dvd
sudo mkdir /dev/dvdrw

and then I put this:

sudo ln -s /dev/myphysicaldriveaddress /dev/disk
sudo ln -s /dev/myphysicaldriveaddress /dev/hdd
sudo ln -s /dev/myphysicaldriveaddress /dev/cdrom
sudo ln -s /dev/myphysicaldriveaddress /dev/dvd
sudo ln -s /dev/myphysicaldriveaddress /dev/dvdrw



I'll will upgrade my post if I found something new...
