What do you mean by VCD and DVD problem? You mean you can't watch them 
or they don't sound?

If the problem is that you can't watch any video, you may need to 
download a more suited application (like Xine or Mplayer) for that (yum 
is your friend for that, and certainly livna or freshrpms are your best 
repos for those). http://rpm.livna.org and http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net

As for the sound, check your cables and please post what is marked as 
Multimedia audio controller: when you issue the command (yuo don't have 
to be root for this):
/sbin/lspci -v

You may have an ALSA issue there, or just your volume levels need adjusting.
