This is exactly what I had tried to explain here:

And now that I think of it, it should even be possible to do the same with 
an encrypted dvd disc, as long as you authenticated the disc before sharing 
it. To authenticate a dvd, you just need to start a dvd player and play a 
few second of this specific disc (using vlc or whatever other dvd player). 
The disc should stay authenticated as long as you don't reboot your pc or 
replace the dvd with another one.

Hope this helps,
