Yep, it possible to copy Playstation 2 video quite easily. A program called Alcohol 120% even has a specific mode to do so.
Then you have to do some trickery with the Playstation 2 console itself, as it contains firmware that detects the presence of non-original discs. This is overcome with the installation of a 'modchip', but it can be a pain in the ar5e and of course invalidates your warranty. A second method is to use a special boot disk, which is simply inserted before you put your copied game in, and is much more preferable if you don't fancy getting the soldering iron out!

heres a link to a blog about a program that can do it without buying any expensive hardware.
