i assume the content of the 3rd folder is a .dat file, if so just use vcdgear and convert the .dat to .mpg and if you want run it back through nero and burn a new vcd

The suggestion is a good one to use VCDgear. Since it won't play on a PC, it's possible that either it was incorrectly mastered or some type of copy protection was put on it to prevent you from copying it. Copy protection schemes usually try to make the discs unplayable on a PC to prevent copying. VCD format does not support copy protection, but I have read about people using it anyway.
