I use Windows Media Center to play DVDS with JAWS 9 all the time.  Using the 
hotkeys it works quite well, at least in Vista Home Premium.

To open Windows Media Center in Windows Vista Home Premium use Windows Key 
with Alt and enter.  When Media Center has opened then use CTRL with Shift 
and M to go to the DVD menu.  The keystrokes for controlling the DVD are 
shown below.

Go to the DVD menu    CTRL+SHIFT+M
Play    CTRL+SHIFT+P
Pause     CTRL+P
Stop    CTRL+SHIFT+S
Rewind    CTRL+SHIFT+B
Fast forward    CTRL+SHIFT+F
Go to the previous chapter    CTRL+B
Go to the next chapter    CTRL+F
Change the DVD angle    ARROW KEYS
Change the DVD audio selection    CTRL+SHIFT+A
Change the DVD subtitles selection    CTRL+U

Take care.
