Not speaking to the copyright issues, only the technical ones, my understanding is that a DVD is a finished file, and is certainly uneditable on the disc. Many have software that prevents easy burning as well.
You can play it on your machine and capture the video in real time in a program like camtasia studio. As to reading the subtitles and indexing the clips in that way, I can't imagine that it's possible.

Dear Videobloggers, Currently I am trying to understand if it is possible to go inside the programming of a DVD to edit the film. Is that possible? Next what I would like to do is find the program which tells the DVD which subtitles to play. I want to be able to then edit the film segments I want and index these segments via the subtitles. Is that possible? The aim is to take the legal portion of a film (10% or less - I imagine) for educational language learning purposes. I would like to put the subtitles index on a website (private - not public) so that students can click on a subtitle and see the film segment and view the context and content of the said subtitle. Any suggestions or advice are welcome.
