It is legal if you are making a backup of the DVD. It is illegal if you distribute it in any way.

Yes. But not without obtaining software to decrypt and rip the DVD. Please note that I am not advocating that you do this...since it is against the law. However, if you were to do so, once the DVD was ripped, you could convert the .vob files into something the Zvue could play with the Zapp software or the Zflicks software both of which can be found on Zvue's website.
