Laptop DVD Drive

So when I go to watch a movie in my Slimtype combo DVD/CDRW drive, it plays fine for about 30 minutes, then begins to skip. It will play for a few minutes, then get hung on a scene like a broken record, while doing this, the Drive is spinning quite loudly. This has happened with every DVD I have used. I dont know if its being cause by the heat built up or what. ANy ideas?
