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.
