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

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

Visit www.google.com and perform a search for "password protect 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.

Huh ? Why not. Works (File encryption) on the ones that I work on for clients even
with Vista Home and Basic. Where did you get that info from

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