Video CD streams are supposedly based on a slightly-modified version of the MPEG-1 container format with standard MPEG-1 Video and MPEG-1 Audio coding. According to Apple's documentation, it's possible to play them within QuickTime if you're using Mac OS X Tiger (OS 10.4).

If you're using Panther and have updated to at least OS 10.3.9, you can use VLC Media Player instead, from File -> Open Disc -> VCD.
