Hmm - haven't tried that yet. However, with some extra (manual) steps I
could already play some VCDs/SVCDs via VDR:
- take the 'vcdrip' tool from vcdimager to rip the tracks of your VCD
- rename the resulting files to 001.vdr etc. and move them to an
appropriate VDR directory
- replay as usual - voila

Is there a need to access them via filesystem? AFAIK you can directly
'rawread' the mpeg data from the CD tracks... Could it even make easier
to integrate into VDR based on your and Stefans great work on DVD and
MP3.

I'll give it a try too when I have some more time to write a little bit
of code the next weekend ;-)

Good luck,
