Might be the fault of the CD. Check the cd's surface for scratches. Remove them with either some "scratch-removal-cream" (which you can buy from most CD shops) or get the CD physically polished.

try it on your pc, if your pc can read the file inside (using Windows Media Player, BSPlayer etc), be sure to burn a copy of the vcd asap. Your CD is probably dying, so clone it :D

Other possibility is that your VCD player is getting old... bring your vcd to a friend's place and test it out... if it works there, time to buy a new player.
