I created a number of sparsebundles consisting of photos. I then burned that on to a disc and deleted from my hard drive. I am pretty sure I was in the past able to copy the disc's back on to my hard drive and then un-encrypt them. Can't recall how to do this (since then I might have had my hard drive wiped clean and upgraded to latest operating system if that makes a difference).
Sparse Bundle encription issue

I wish life would be that simple! The Cd in finder when I double click opens showing all the files as Unix Executable files e.g. one of the jpg is a001.jpg. $#!
In info for the file it has open with "not applicable" rather than disk inage mounter.app or something like that. I recall having to copy the cd to hard drive in the past, but when I did that and clicked on the folder it would ask for my password- no problem. Not so now.

How long ago did you create these?
Sometimes, Disk Utility needs to convert them to the newer format. Maybe you could copy them all to your HD, convert them, then try opening them?
You may have to use a Mac running the older version of the OS to open them, then transfer them to your newer OS Mac.
Just thinking out loud,
