When you burn it make sure it is CLOSED or FINALISED.

Right you want COPY protection not WRITE protection.
You'll need to use DRM technology to achieve this.

Have a look at this:
Copy protection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You will probably be best off contacting a company that uses this kind of technology, there are many solutions out there.
Just don't use starforce, it's so invasive to the user.

As Ben said you asked the wrong question. DRM is a set of technologies used to protect data. But it would be expensive to get the tools to protect your disk.
If you give us a better idea of what is on that disk and what you want to protect it from, we may be able to help further.

First, you "collect" software? This is software you have purchased or downloaded? Or is it software, you yourself have written? Unless its your own code, what gives you the right to either distribute or protect it? Also what is the purpose of the CD/DVD?
I'm just trying to understand what you are actually trying to accomplish here. But nothing you've said so far justifies protecting the disk.
As to DRM technology, you have to license it and its expensive.

Thank u very much. I got it. Actually I downloads softwares and collect it. It is my picuiliar hobby. How ever I don't want to use any expensive technology. Is there any third party software which will help to protect the cd? ;)

You aren't answering my questions. If this is downloaded software, then what right do you have to copy protect it. If its shareware or freeware then it should be freely distributable so there is no reason to protect the disk. If its commercial software, then you don't have a right to give that disk to anyone else so the need to protect it disappears.
Everything I'm hearing tells me there is no reason to protect the disk, so why do you want to?

Yes I download the shareware softwares, & agreed to free distribute it but I don't want that in my absence anybody take it. That's why I tried to protect. Yeah anybody take from me the free softwares but I will give them. In my locality they take those softwares in my absence. So I want to know this. :mad:

You don't get it, do you? Shareware is freely distributed. There is no reason to prevent people from copying it. In fact, the license agreement for some of them prevents you copy protecting it.
If you don't want people to copy from your CD, then keep it under lock and key. But trying to put copy protection on a disk of shareware apps that you collect is like trying to padlock a public park.
