Can I play and edit or cut films on Blu-ray and DVD (imports and German retail versions) regardless of the copy protection on the notebook? If so, what kind of equipment or software is required?
Play yes, edit no. That's what the copy protection is for - you can't make a copy of
You need at least a DVD reader for DVDs and a BD reader for BDs.
DVDs are less of a problem when it comes to reading, you can watch them on any computer with a drive.
Blurays need special software with appropriate license keys
Thank you for the helpful answer!
Editing is not possible, but playing.
You can use the VLC player for this: https://www.vlc.de/
Then you have to install the following:
libdvdcss: http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.11/win64/libdvdcss-2.dll Then copy it into the VLC installation folder after the download.
And one more thing: https://www.videosolo.com/de/tutorials/play-blu-ray-with-vlc.html
Then you can play DVDs and blu rays with the VLC player. Even those with copy protection.
Play yes, to edit you first have to copy the film to your hard drive, you can download programs from the Internet, there are enough
