Are you sending these disks to secret agents like Tom Cruise?

It does exist in DVD format. Its formulated by a German based company. But I doubt its local availability.

Yeh, u can always encode the content on the cd with a software with password protect, u should program in such a way that after entering password twice, 3rd time it should change password to something else 
and so that the client u have distributed the cd will call u back so u can come to know by this method that the client have watched the dvd/cd or not 
its a nice way btw.

True.. maybe you could enlighten on what exactly needs protection.. and yea u cud do as G@d of w@r said and do it after every single view.. that way before people would realise it the password would change..
This is one of the most interesting topics ever... Self Destructible Cds.. someone should get a patent n start work on it...

Encrypt the data and keep the program on cd. Program should be coded in such a way that it asks for password from user as well as make a secure connection to some website for authentication. You control the website, you control the number of access. Wireshark/dns poisoning along with fake http servers may spoil the sport, but tight encryption may be helpful. Internet access is a must though.
I believe this can be more easily done with some cheap rw media like usb drives ( cheaper one's). In CD, you can't make the program stop access after opening once or twice since ur program won't be able to write back changes on CD ( unless you bundle whole cd burning apps in some way $$$$ ) . Writing changes in OS is a stupid way as it can be easily beaten. Final choice would be some web based authentication or some rw media .

Such thing can only happen in magnetic media drives thus the inbuilt software will delete the main files in a sec or make it inaccesible by means of renaming or moving it and incase of deletion it will not be recoverable by normal user. Thus there by making it unusable. But in DVD and CD's for this purpose will require RW but its time consuming on this form of media and may lead to failure incase the the drive is not RW. Since long the same way was used in floppies and thus it was possible. There was token entry at the time of run making a note of runs and deleting the content on completion of the set runs.
