ddouglas is wrong to say that you can not play them directly from the disc as I have just tried it on my version 3.321 and they play fine, although I usually load them onto the hard drive myself. When you open the disc from the video button in hoster you must find the folder that they are in. I loaded In an "Origanal Footage"video cd to test this. In my case they are in a folder named MPEGAV and when you open this folder they are .Dat files. The only other thing that I can think of at the moment is that you must have the video codec to see the video, if you have a programme like "Intervideo Windvd" this has the codec in it. If you can play video through windows media player then you must have the codec.

If you want to load them onto your hard drive just copy and paste the .dat files, you can then rename them yourself but keep the .dat file type at the end of the file name.

Hope this helps you.
