Yes, still images : And there's a menu item when playing a DVD

View -> DVD features ->Capture Image

To "capture" video you need to extract the VOB from the DVD using
something like SmartRipper to decrypt and gather the MPEG file. You
can then chop it up and transcode the MPEG to windows media or other
formats - for example using VirtualDub or one of the movie editing
packages.

I went to View, DVD Features, but there is no Capture Image menu option.
There's only root menu, title menu, close menu, back, camera angle, and
update DVD information..

You said WMP10, right ? What version does it list when you go to Help
menu and choose "About windows media player" ?

Tried all of that. Those options simply aren't there.

Heh. If ALT-SHIFT-PRINTSCREEN isn't there (or if you can't turn down video
hardware acceleration), than your machine is not Windows XP. You simply
have to have that functionality in your copy of Windows. =)
