Don't think you can do it without third party software.
Most software DVD players such as PowerDVD has a screen capture option.

If you want to do it with wmp you would either need to disable the hardware overlay or use a screen cap program that supports capturing it.

Probably the easiest way is to just open two players and cap from the second one. It should not be using overlay.
