When you say the files, do you mean the Files from the VCD that you've just burned or from the computer (Original Location)?

If it's from the VCD, it could either be down to the configuration you were using when you did the burn, or.... something else =P

I've heard about this problem many times actually. but i never bothered to read the topics, and i wish i had now. Meh.... if the Files on your computer play fine, and the files on the VCD play upside down, then you should check the codec which your computer is associating with your VCD. It could be that one codec is configured by default to play .avi type files on your computer, and the other codec is configured to play any .avi file from your CD/DVD Drive.

Check what codec the original file is using with the AviC (fourcc changer), and then check what codec the files on the VCD are using with the same program, and make sure they are the same codecs as the one which the original files use.

If however you mean the files are now messed up themselves. Uh.... well.... i seriously don't know why o_o;

Try changing it from Xvid to DivX i guess and see what happens, or from DivX to Xvid. Can't hurt to try, because you can simply change them back again. Because i'm totally random like that, and think everyone should try 'everything' they can possible try when something has gone obviously wrong. You'd be surprised what helps the problem get better ^^'
