text: It should play in either vcd player and dvd player if it is burnt as VIDEO CD.  I assume you did not burn it to be a VCD, you just picked the video files from your computer and burned them onto the cd right away.  making it a Data CD rather VCD.  VCD has a standard fromat. It has some folders like, CDI, MPEGAV, SEGMENT, VCD, etc. check if your CD contains all these or such folders, if yes, its a VCD and it should run, if no so, then its a simple DATA CD which is not recognizable on VCD/DVD players.
