That's expected.

Apple do tend to run their machines close to thermal limits. Make sure it's in a cool room, the fan vent is clear of dust etc.

Other than that, not much you can do about it without opening it which would void the warranty. Video encoding is an intensive process so will generate a lot of heat.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have seen similar posts before. We are in a cool room and we do keep it clean, learned that with our old machine.
