We don't use touchscreen capability, but we do use an iPod to deliver looped
videos. We set the video(s) up in a playlist and set the thing to repeat
all. This is fairly new for us (used in 2 exhibitions so far), but so far,
so good!

We do this too.  You need to make sure to find a DVD player with a repeat
feature.  This has to be started every morning by the person opening up.
The only problem with the option is that the DVD players will wear out after
a while.  Our introductory video is set up this way, and since 2001 we have
replaced the DVD player 4 times.  There are, however, DVD players that are
made for this type of repeated use - talk to some exhibit companies.
