If it is a commercial movie you are talking about, you will need to use MacTheRipper to first descramble the CSS protection and copy it to your hard drive.

After that, you can use either HandBrake to convert it to an MP4 file. Or you can use MPEGStreamClip to convert it to a DV file and then you can edit it in iMovie and do pretty much whatever you want with it.

Good luck.
