Could you please post some error-messages, if any. Have a look at the messages-log (either view->messages or window->messages) to find some more.
Do you see a black window/rectangle where the video should appear? Which system do you use?

Btw. VLC supports MPEG2-files at least since version 0.4.5, but probably since 0.3.x so it shouldn't be a problem with VLC's capabilities. The support of XVCD depends on your operating system.
