password protect a dvd

Hello,

I use a dvd-rw as a backup, using the 'live file formatting' option. No
problems.

How can I password protect the disc ?

Thanks

K

Re: password protect a dvd

Use file encryption as you copy them to the CD/DVD.

Re: password protect a dvd

File encryption would work if the OP was running Vista Business,
Ultimate, or Enterprise versions. If the OP was running Vista Basic or
Home Premium, file encryption is not available.

Re: password protect a dvd

I presume he meant that BitLocker Drive Encryption is not included with the
Home versions.
