tc* and transcode are used to rip DVDs. vcd* are used to read/write 
video CDS. You don't need them unless you want to rip/record video.

You can install them by enabling one of the alternative yum repos (dag, 
livna, etc) and doing yum install transcode, and yum install vcdimager 
(I think this is right?). Or search freshrpms or pbone.
