Congrats on getting those things to work for you. I'm a fan of Automatix and like the way it works. I've had no bad experiences with it yet. I'm also a big fan of VLC as a video player. It plays just about everything I've thrown at it, but I don't know how it will handle VCDs (or ones using an Asian codec). Should that fail, I found this well-written page that may provide some help. Good luck. Playing VCDs on (Ubuntu) Linux: HOW-TO http://alternativenayk.wordpress.com/2007/01/20/playing-vcds-on-ubuntu-linux-how-to/ What a great blog post.
