File protection on multimedia hard disks

Windows Vista20
Hello !



Is there a solution for storing sound files on a multimedia hard disk and

not enabling the files to be retrieved ?

(for example, are there multimedia disks which enable crypting sound files,

yet allowing to listen to them, or software solutions)



Here is precisely our need : we are an association and we want to give our

members access to conferences and concerts by storing these on multimedia

hard disks which our members will be able to rent.

The audio content of the files are the property of the association (concerts

and conferences by members).

We should wish at least a symbolic protection of the files so that most

members, if not computer experts, cannot easily retrieve the files from the

disk.



All ideas will be highly appreciated !



Cheers



Jean-Marie

DRM unfortunately......



First...I know very little about DRM, as I have zero video's and like

maybe 3 mp3's, so don't use my PC as a media server.



But if I did want to utilize DRM, I'd start looking here.....

Re:File protection on multimedia hard disks

Trying to reach an equilibium between ease of use and security is like

looking for a fish with feather :)

Assuming your files could be stored on a 4-8GB flash drive, try U3 with

e-Capsule Private Safe:
