    All I can think of is to copy it to your HDD and let your AV kill brontok in the process. Copying it to a virtual environment would be best.

    Don't worry, brontok wouldn't delete your video files away. Moreover, it doesn't have the ability to infect other files.

    Almost all AVs can block Brontok from executing from your DVD. So copying files cannot be a problem.

    Some manual steps that you can take.
    Use any of the Brontok removal tools from Raymond's article to remove any infection from your PC.

    Disable autorun of your DVD drive.

    Now insert the DVD and copy only the video file to your HDD.
    Happy To Help
