How can I Encrypt my files without using any compressing method?
I want to burn on a dvd some information (programs, pictures, videos, word files, excel files, and some audio clips) but I need them to be completely encrypted. So I can be the only person who can access them. However I have been searching and all I find are programs that not only encrypt but they also compress. I don't need that.
All I want is to have a DVD with some password or something. So I can enter it and have immediate access to my files. Without waiting for them to be uncompressed, processed or anything like that. Just immediate access as soon as I enter the password.
some help? thx

The only way to do that would be to put said files into a TrueCrypt volume, burn the volume to the DVD and then once burned, put the CD in and open the TrueCrupt volume from the DVD. But you have to have TrueCrypt on that computer.

What actually protects the data is in fact the compression based on an encryption. Hypothetically someone could make an encryption that didn't compress but you'd still have to wait just as long for it, if not longer, to de-encrypt them, so why not save space for the same effort.
Thumb drives however can have locking programs built in so that you simply can't access the data at all without the password. I had a sandisk that came with one, though I never used it.
What he said above, truecrypt still has to be there to decrypt it with the password.
