It's a lot more complex than just "attaching a hard disc to a DVD player" though,

I'm surprised nobody's made a fancy "movie appliance" that will rip the discs you insert and keep them on a menu though.

ISTR one very expensive one that did, but I bet any attempt to make a mass-market one would incur the movie industry's wrath.  The user might rip the entirety of Blockbuster to that system!

I am thinking that he was wanting to add a HDD to a over the counter DVD player.

A PVR system would be one that would work but the HTPC would be what fits his over all goals.
