Problems with various drivers. If you're running inside VMWare, you 
can't directly access any of your hardware (except USB). So no typical 
PCI capture cards work, and you can't directly access your video card. 
Like others said, run Linux as the host OS, and you could probably 
accomplish what you're after.
