There are some alternatives.

1. Open VLC, File > Open Disc > Disc Type VCD ---  Advanced Options > Customize 
"change vcdx to vcd2" 
i.e.  Customize will read like > vcd2:///dev/---  :audio-track=0. If you have 
more then one dvdrom/cdrom give the right address. VLC will then play the files 
but the voice may be distorted. If it works ok then you can make a custom 
command in file > properties > open with |  so that when VCD is inserted VLC 
will autoplay with the custom command.

2. For mplayer. open terminal > mplayer ://vcd   --- press 'F' for sullscreen.
  
3. Install gxine, which will play VCDs.

4.Install smplayer. Which is what i use and works perfectly.
