If the contents of CD have an artistic value then you may apply for copyright after it is put in a mode of transmission in public domain.

Yes. Cinematograph films - also title of motion films including its screenplay is registerable under copyright Act. The same must be registered with the Copyright Board in New Delhi. Pertinent to note that registration is not mandatory but advisable due to its benefits. For details on Procedure for registration, please visit www.copyright.gov.in/
