This may not be the place to discuss this but thought i'd give it a try. Why doesn't anyone make/sell a personal huge hard drive DVR that we could upload a thousand movies to and create a personal organized library of movies so we could watch one at any time? A device that we can insert a DVD, record it onto the device and then manipulate it in an organized library. Then watch it, record it onto a another DVD disk or a thumb drive...does anyone make this type of hardware?

It is called a PC.

There is even a specialised version of Windows (Media Center) for this application. I think you can buy ready made systems based on this. 

There are probably a few dozen Linux equivalents if you want something that won't work out of the box.
