Is there any way to backup blu-ray movies to your hard drive and then edit them together?

Question

I got Spiderman 1,2 and 3 for Christmas and I already have Xmen 3. What I'd really like to do is to put them all on my PC hard drive and then edit them so I have the action scenes from all 4 movies in a row. Then I'd like to put them on my PS3 or keep them on a media center PC so I can sit in my theater and just watch the action scenes.

I've done this with regular DVDs and TV shows, which is really cool. I don't have to fumble reaching for disks or skipping chapters. Its really cool to watch all the action scenes from a TV show in a row.

I was thinking of getting a high def DVD recorder or something with an HDMI input that I could then copy over to my PC. If you output from the PS3 to a high def DVD recorder would that work?

As I mentioned before I can do it with non high def and get near HD quality with my video processor, but I'd really like to have real high def quality.

I don't understand why copy protection would apply. I'm not making millions of copies of the movies and selling them. All I want to do is put them on my computer so I can watch them in the order I want, just like if you copy songs from a CD to your computer.

Answer 1

Copy protection in BD and HD DVDs is much stronger, so you can't do any of the above.
