Answer 1

you need a professional third party software to rip ur dvds to MP4 videos,

Answer 2

Games are region-free on PS3 which means that games from any region will work.

Movies tend to be region-encoded so you would be limited to region 2. The exception to this is Sony who, bizarrely, seem to not bother encoding their movies on blu-ray even if they say they have.

I don't know about ordinary dvd's though. I think that they are probably not going to play on a PS3 if they are the wrong region.

It is possible to unlock an ordinary dvd player to play region 1 but I wouldn't like to mess with the workings of the PS3!

Answer 3

It needs a tool to rip the DVD and then put it to PS3.

I know one called Daniusoft DVD to PS3, it can both rip the dvd and put it to PS3.

Anyway, you can have a try.
