We have a DVD of our local history film that we play continuously in the summer for our visitors.  It gives us glitches, skips, and other troubles fairly frequently, even if we switch to a new copy or a new TV.  I'm wondering if other institutions play a film continuously and what the parameters might be for wear-and-tear on the machine or the DVD.  Our situation:
DVD built-in to a TV (from Costco)
DVD on repeat
DVD removed nightly and put in its case
DVD and DVD player cleaned regularly
DVD plays 7 hours per day, 7 days per week
 
We have only recently switched from using a VCR to show our film and I'm hoping folks out there might be able to tell us something about our problem.
 
Thank you!
