Best method for exporting/downloading an AWS image to an offline location where it can be run locally as a vmdk or vdi image?

We are planning on spinning down a few of our hosted AWS virtual machines, but wanted to be able to download them to later be launched/run locally as a VMWare vmdk or Microsoft VDI. What's the most common method for doing this?

Sounds like a solid use case for the VM Import/Export service. You can export directly from an instance or from an AMI.
