I made a vcd and when I play it in my dvd player the picture shows blocks. What can I do to fix it?

Not a whole lot.

Is the original video a really clean source? The truth is garbage in - garbage out.

VCD is a very low-res format. Since the bitrate is so low, macroblocks are almost (dare I say completely?) unavoidable.

If possible, try SVCD or miniDVD (Best yet, DVD).

yes it is a clean source. it looks good on my pc but not vcd

As s2k says VCD ain't the best format around but if you know what settings to use and your source is clean you should be able to get a decent picture. I'd do a test on the parts of the movie that have macroblocks on em - if your using TMPGenc ensure the option for Motion Search Precision" is set to High. Again as s2k said use SVCD if you looking for better quality.

Make a better VCD. How? Try TMPGEnc and follow one of the guides.

PS, Please use a more descriptive subject line for your post like, "Poor quality VCD." Everybody posting here needs help.
