I Don' Know, but I'm guessing by the text on the disc it wont work in a normal Xbox 360, Maybe rup the CD and upload it to Unseen 64 of the Cutting Room Floor community. They could probably examine it better.

Good Idea, I'll get to it.

That disc is a couple years old. You had to have registered to beta test xbox dashboard updates. Mircosoft sent them out along with a beta firmware download that was registered to your console only. Not everyone in the beta got a disc some just got the dashboard update. Mircosoft was experimenting with a new compression tech that would allow more data on a DVD. They didn't end up using it in the end and everyone who was sent a disc was given a free download of Halo reach. I was in the Beta test but was just a Dashboard tester. I think i didn't get the disc cause i had received a Kinect b4 that for beta testing.
Edit: Well guess I'm wrong after googling it myself the disc I was referring to looks different then that. Sorry to waste your time.

I got one a few years ago. it looks like this. I got it for signing up for the new Dashboard beta. It was to test out the new disk format that Microsoft was implementing to help fight piracy.
