depends how long is your dvd drive running. I know that on my dvd drive after i play a movie for over 2 hours the cd is pretty hot but not to a point where I cant touch it.

i wouldn't worry about it. dvds always get hot when played for a while. after all, they've got a laser shining on them and a motor spinnging them around.

If you are just playing them and they are getting "too hot to handle," then there might be a problem. If you are doing anything that might entail *cough* *cough* copying or encoding, that might be the problem. In that case it is always better to rip and then do whatever...
