DVD encryption software – Top 3
In this article I will be decribing my personal favorite top 3 DVD encryption software.
1. Master Voyager
Easy to use interface. It uses AES 256 bit encryption method. Master Voyager makes it possible to:
- Password protect any DVD or CD
- No need to worry about where to store your DVDs
- Even if you USB / CD / DVD gets stolen, nobody will be able to see your senstive files
- Never go through the long proces of decrypting DVDs anymore! Just fill in your password and Master Voyager will do the rest.
2. TrueCrypt
Truecrypt came at number 2, because it was not as easy to use as Master Voyager. If you are already quite familiar with Truecrypt. Truecrypt maybe able to fullfill your needs. This is what you need to do when using truecrypt: Create a file hosted volume and burn it unto CD, like you burn a normal file. (Credit goes to Stormfront)
3. Ripguard
Ripgaurd is used for publishers, who want to protect their DVD against piracy. I put this one in the list at last, because not so many people will use this. Ripguard will encrypt DVD's in a special way so they can not be copied.

TrueCrypt Review – Cons and Pros
With all the various different encryption software packages it is hard to choose. TrueCrypt is an Open Source package, meaning you can use it for free. This is for most users the biggest advantage of TrueCrypt.
If you got some sensitive files you don't want anybody to see, Truecrypt is your friend! Truecrypt makes it possible to encrypt an entire partition or any storage device.
The only downside is that you can't easily encrypt a single existing folder. If you are looking to encrypt a single folder you should take a look at Folder Lock, which uses an easy interface to encrypt your folders.

Algorithms | Truecrypt gives you the choice between: AES, Serpent and Twofish. They even give you the choise to combine them. |
I will be updating this post, while trying other software. This has been written doing some simple desk research. A more detailed review will come later.
