Put the files in a password protected zip/rar and burn the archive on the disk.

Nice thought but I think there are some software which allow encryption of the disk and allow to set a password.

yes there are paid softwares like Virtual CD which can create a special cd/dvd that needs password to open.still much better option is to use password protected archives since everyone can open them without needing some special software(everyone has winzip/winrar) & it also provides a way to check files are not corrupted(archive will give error during extraction if file has been corrupted).

Most of such softwares are paid.

Using trucrypt create a file container, add your files. Then burn this file container to DVD. You could also add trucrypt portable version onto the same dvd so that user does not need to download trucrypt. Advantage of trucrypt over rar/zip archives is that the files decrypted on the fly and you can use it just like a normal drive.
