It should be legal to make the recording, put it to personal use, or use it in other limited ways. But if the other videos are visible and/or audible in yours, then publishing your video would likely violate the copyright on the original. Whether it would will depend on a variety of factors. You may want to consult with a lawyer directly so you can discuss your plans in more detail -- especially if you want to make commercial use of your videos.

Good luck.
