MKB_v36_HOB.tgz problem

While I was ripping a Startek BD disk I noticed that the program stored something in this file. First the name of file is wrong, and if it really is per BD disk basis, the place is wrong. It is in users folder "C:\Users\username\.MakeMKV". The file name is probably from first BD disk I tried. Can I change the file name?

I am using Windows 7 and this the log from next disk:
MakeMKV v1.8.3 win(x86-release) started
Using direct disc access mode
Failed to open disc
Backing up disc into folder "D:/Video/backup/STE_S1_D5"
Loaded content hash table, will verify integrity of M2TS files.

The "Failed to open disc" is because I cancelled first try.

My question: can change the .tgz filename MakeMKV creates and uses?

By the way, I mangled the BD names.

Actually, you can ignore or even delete the file - it's a place holder for MakeMKV to record what the highest AACS level you've ripped. The file name is based upon the disk you ripped with the highest AACS level.

Where it saves the file is controlled by Settings->General->MakeMKV data directory.

My data directory contains MKB_v36_BAKA_AND_TEST_OVA.tgz, which tells MakeMKV that it has seen v36 AACS, and what disk it was on, and and what the AACS update was.

Aha, I see. I was hoping that it would contain some encryption keys or something similar, VKU or what ever.

Thanks

I think this file does include somekind of keys, I remember seeing a log saying something like saving MKB keys into that file. Does anyone have more info on that?
