There are quite a few tutorials available on CDs/DVDs these days. When I try to copy the content on my hard disk, I just can't copy it. The CDs work correctly if I try to use AutoPlay option from the CD. What I need to understand is, how can one make CDs which can contain media, but it could not be replicated or played with any other player except the one that is available on the CD? Are there any such software available to create such media?

What other means are available for protecting media on a CD/DVD?

No one has ever created a successful DRM system. It is likely that this will never be possible.

This is known as DRM. It only makes it harder to copy the disc, not impossible. It's very hard to do well.

The wikipedia article "Digital Rights Management" has a good introduction to the topic.

a simple way to do what you ask is to encrypt the media/data/etc when you burn it to disc. Have your program be able to decrypt this data on the fly (only within the program and in ram) and use it.

There are ways around it but this will probably be a very implementable method of moving forward.

Though the CDs are copy protected, you can copy that CD. What you have to do is just create one nrg image of that CD then you will be able to use that CD, althought the CD is not available with you using that nrg file
