What can I play VCDs with? I tried MPlayer, but it ran the intro scene for a few seconds and exited (I've to choose from the menu in that scene). Does Totem/Movie Player support VCD and stuff?

Update

I was able to to get tracks using mplayer vcd:// command. Nothing plays from the first track (mplayer vcd://1), video only appears on the second track.

On VLC I could play it normally from the GUI.

Is there anyway to play VCD on the default softwares (Media Player/Banshee)?

VLC should be able to play VCD. Command line: /usr/bin/vlc vcd:// or from within VLC: media, open disc:

Try and find out if you get any errors while doing this command line. Maybe you need some extra codecs.

For i386 install codecs:

sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2

For amd64 install codecs:

sudo apt-get install w64codecs libdvdcss2

(but these might already be installed on your system)
