Did you choose view all files, when you opened the Mpegav folder?

And if it's a DVD you borrowed, you have to put it in a DVD-ROM drive, not just a CD-ROM drive.

@mikewg
CD1 is a vcd(format 1.0)

@OH
i've also tried checking the properties of the folder but
still says 0kb
properties for the entire CD1 is approx.550Mb so something is there but i can't see anything

The VCD probably doesn't have anything written to its ISO filesystem.

A VCD doesn't actually need to filesystem to play on a stand-alone player so that is why it still works.

To extract it, you can try the following:
Use CDRWin to create a CUE/BIN image of the VCD onto your HDD. Then use VCDXRIP (one of the programs in VCDImager) to extract all the stuff from the CUE/BIN image.

You may be able to use VCDGear on the CUE/BIN image as well.
