If you have Media player its quite good.
Then if you want a more advanced player
Win dvd or power dvd.

Guys

I would like to know which of these would display VCDs with the menus, chapters, background images and backgroiund music - just as you woukld see it on a Dvd player ?

Thanks

Powerdvd and Windvd by sure.

obviously the vcd must have the chapters subtitles etc to be viewed otherwise you won't see anything.

burn the vcd to disk or as its a vcd copy the cd image use nero or cdrao.. then use demon tools and use the virtual features works fine for me.

It does not always work danbeherenow
It depends what he sets in the encoder ,usally encoders ,encode the main movie to improve quality and compression.Adding chapters and other things may result in high qualiy losses.

Subtitles may be add ,no problem since its just text they only take as much as 6mb so you won't see a difference in quality.

doesnt always work your rite, but sometimes it does imaging the disk then set to daemon tools you can always try though eh?
if it dont work, there's no loss. no lost sleep!

I don't use the tools displayed above by you.
I haven't even tried using them but i know ppl that made use of them and in some conditions works and in othes don't.It depends on what you want amd what souce are you handling in.

Its a waste of space having chapters scenes etc in a vcd i don't recommend it if you are planning to do a vcd.I would try and set the best settings which would end up in having better quality.

If you insist on having chapters etc Pinnacle instant copy or pinnacle studio 8 allowyou to do so just make sure you start off with full movie mode and then choose your custom settings.

Lets hope that it will reveal to work with all formats.
IMHO i always make a quick check using virtualdubmod it is able to
tell yu everythin gabout the video.You can also see the difference between a fake and a real video.
