I cannot play VCDs in Ubuntu 12.10. But I can play DVDs. I have done a lot research and found a ton of question and regarding this but none of the solutions worked for me.
Here is what i have tried so far
As i said i can play DVD but not any VCDs. To confirm this i have tried different VCDs. I'm using Vlc.
File reading failed:
VLC could not read the file (Input/output error).
File reading failed:

I'm getting above error message when i try to play VCD using Vlc. I can play the same VCD in Windows XP installation (I have installed both Ubuntu and Windows XP).
Then i tried
sudo apt-get-install ubuntu-restricted-extras
And it said i have updated software.
Then tried installing w32codecs which has already installed then some CDFS files
Actually tried most of the solutions and i have been trying for the last one week....
Please do not mark this as a duplicate, because i have tried most of solutions mentioned in ask ubuntu.
apt-get install libcdio-utils
and then runcd-info
which is in that package. It should scan your drive and tell you if it thinks there is a vcd in the drive. If there is one, then we can focus on the vlc side.
