A way to repair damaged program cd's is to rip off the image from the cd and rewrite back to another. This should leave you with an undamaged cd as good as the original. I don't see why this won't work for a vcd as well. You'll need a program called CDRWIN 3.8 though.

how about just copying the large *.dat file (about 500-700MB) under the mpegav subdirectory on the vcd to your harddrive, renaming it with an ".mpg" extension and reburning a new vcd with it?

this has worked for me with several vcd originals i own.
