I am going to assume you are watching this on a television, and not a computer.

It sounds like you are having a problem with overscan. In a normal television picture, there is a small portion of the video that you don't see, on all sides of the picture.

You may have a problem with your television set, where the vertical size and linearity are misadjusted to the point where you are losing too much picture.

You may have a problem with how the DVD player is interpreting the video CD. If you're trying to play PAL video on an NTSC device, it may be showing the picture as-is, and not making adjustments for the difference in resolution.

My suggestions would be to try your DVD player and VCD on another television, and/or try your VCD on a different DVD player. Also, try a factory-made VCD and see if it works ok.
