vcd's and svcd's shouldn't be mounted to play, the same here ...

I think there is a patched cdfs for Linux available to being able to read this 
cd's. But on XCD's you should not burn an avi. At least you should use a 
containerformat with errordetection as .ogm have. whoever burnt that disk, 
had not read a lot about that thing. Did not know if mplayer tries to 
recognize the stream or if it assumes it is mpeg1 or mpeg2.

under win there should be a way for sure. Ever read docs about it ? (maybe on 
doom9.org ? )
