Actually VCD's are different from normal Video files like OGV, MP4 etc. VCD's video information is written as tracks rather than writing as normal files. That's why you can't double click and play the .DAT files inside a VCD under linux. But Windows emulates these tracks as normal mpg video files and you can view it easily. vcdxrip is a program used to convert VCD tracks to normal MPG stream files. It is because of the VCD format we are using tools like vcdimager to create a VCD format.
So if you just copy some mpg files into a CD, it won't become a VCD. But you may be able to play it..
