How to Open a "Movie Cafe"?

tunari asks: "Here in my neck of the woods (Cochabamba, Bolivia) there are hundreds of Internet cafes and Nintendo salons, where you can rent games by the hour. I would like to open a movie salon. I imagine a central CD/DVD jukebox and either dumb terminals or, if possible, TVs. Users would need basic control over playback, and, if possible, some automated way to request new titles. Cost is a big issue, as we will probably be charging less than a dollar per hour. What are some of the ways we could set this up?"

I imagine a central CD/DVD jukebox and either CD writers, or possibly DVD-ROMs. Users would need basic control over duplication, and, if possible, some automated way to request new versions.
