There's probably a better way, but you could go for a low-brow approach: use a screen recorder on your PC and let the video play. Then you trim the recording and encode it to your format of choice.
DRM prevents that. Your graphics drivers will refuse to release the video info to the screen capture software leaving you with an empty black rectangle in the video. Otherwise a lot more people would do this.
You might be able to use either a capture card to grab the actual video signal being output by the machine; or a VM with the capture software running outside it on the host. I've never tried the latter, but I'm told it works.
If you can see it, you can record it.
Certainly; the hard part is getting high quality captures from high quality sources.
Some people are happy to watch CAM-rips, others won't settle for less than full quality blu-rays.
