Is it possible to override a copyright protection on PS3?

May be...

We downloaded a movie on my husband's ps3. He has a DVD recorder hooked to the ps3, trying to copy the movie. It has a "copyright protection" on the movie, is there anyway around it so we can burn the movie onto a DVD?

Legally, no. You can buy a filter that goes between the PS3 and DVD recorder that removes the Copyright Protection. Because the product is illegal, I can not give any links, but if you do some research, you can find them to buy online.

No maybe you could try but I am not guarrenting. Try burning the movie on a disc that has nothing on it. then try downloading the movie. So then if it doesn't work then the copyright protection is impossible to get around
