I know how and have done it. Sadly I paid $350 for the knowledge and signed an NDA.
One of the confusions that people run into when dealing with VideoCDs is that there are two TOCs (Table of Contents) tables on a VideoCD. One is for use by computationally advantaged mechanisms, such as computers, the other is for computational disadvantaged mechanisms such as VideoCD players.
The former is a file system by any reasonable definition.

There is a book called the 'Green Book'. It has all the answers in it. You can buy it from the Phillips/Sony consortium that owns the technology, and from that you shouldn't have any troubles making VideoCDs. You might be more interested in the newer Super VCD standard.
Just use Google and look for 'VideoCD Green Book'. There are other books, such as the 'White Book' which would probably be helpful too.
Most of the VideoCD player software I have seen are what I would call rippers. They basically know how to find the mostly MPEG 1 compliant video stream on the VideoCD and suck it off, skipping the TOCs all together.
