I would honestly be interested in seeing if there were any officially licensed VCDs released in the US.
In the 90s, Japanese label "XCENTURY" released a number of Kitty Film titles on VCD. Maison Ikkoku for example, was re-released in 1996. For a relatively short period of time, Japanese prints of popular American movies were also released on VCD. You can see a front and back of an Ikkoku volume:
I did a little looking and the only official VCD release in North America I could find was Paramount releasing some Star Trek films in that format - under the "CD-i" branding, which is technically a VCD, I suppose? https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/VCD
