Is it possible to encrypt a DVD/R or CD/R?

Just wondering basicly if it is possible to encrypt a disc so that a password is required to browse the contents?

The only solution I have found so far is to zip/rar the contents with a password but this can have serious problems if even one error appears on the disc I will lose everything. This also requires the contents of the disc to be extracted and as im sure you all know this can take ages on a 4.3GB DVD.

Marketing speak :rolleyes: You can't use an encrypted file unless it's been decrypted. What it means (I think) is that it decrypts individual files on the fly (which in it's favour is the best solution)
