Can you play DVDs under VMware or VirtualPC? If so, you could take screenshots using the host OS, couldn't you?

Incidentally (slightly off topic), in principle you could use bochs (don't know about VMware or VirtualPC) to decode DRM-protected audio files, simply by installing your favourite DRM-friendly media player and redirecting audio output to a<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.wav file. Basically it'd be a digital version of the horrible, nasty, evil "analog hole". Actually, this probably makes bochs illegal under the DMCA... do'h.
