Data Security on DVR's and CD's

What is the best bet for setting default properties on a system so that
*all* CD's and/or DVD's ill be encrypted, perhaps with a public key, ala PGP
or a decent EFS?

Thanks!

Ross

You can set default encryption with EFS but only on NTFS partitions. EFS is
not yet compatible with CD/DVD formats. Sounds like a good idea to submit on
http://connect.microsoft.com.

Thanks.

Thanks, Pat!

Seems sorta silly to *not* use EFS this way, don't it? Seems so obvious!
