I've updated the description based on my findings. Hope it's OK. Now the question is, is this a bug in totem? Should totem be expected to play it given the 'totem /media/cdrom0' command?
In any case, can the default command be changed as a workaround? ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: totem-xine + In karmic, one of the actions for a VCD is to open it with totem.
