If the vcd has a non-vcd directory structure, it is most likely fully 
iso9660. A real vcd is only a small part iso9660. The rest is cd-i, which
means that the iso9660-error-correction sectors are used for video so more
data fits on the disk.
You can read it with a computer, should also be able to play this, but

isn't that /dvb/ost/video? (/dev/dvb/something with NEWSTRUCT)
does it have the correct permissions?
did you stop vdr before?

try mplayer -vo mpegpes (when compiled with DVB-Support), and stop vdr 
before ;)
try renaming .dat to .mpg and re-burn it as a real vcd with vcdimager or 
so.
