DVD Shrink Analysis files

[MrDarcy]

I found that DVD Shrink stores its Analysis data in the folder C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\DVD Shrink 3.0\ , but how can I know which file refers to which analysis ?
Names aren't very meaningful.... for example "Analysis Results.7070b454"

why? Just delete them all and start fresh if that's your concern. Are we doing forensic analysis of a suspect's harddrive?

No legal problem at all ! Just my curiosity to understand how things work, in particular how the suffix (7070b454, for example) is computed.

Thank you to both of you.

It's probably some 'checksum' calculated over a number of things that could identify a specific DVD, e.g. filesizes of the vob, ifo and bup files, the label of the disc or maybe some internal structures of the dvd. The same is done with CDDB for audio cd's: A disc identifier number used for CDDB is a number calculated with the number of tracks and the length of each track. Hence such a number could point to a number of different cd's.
I guess '7070b454' is a hexadecimal 4-digit number: 112 112 180 84 in decimal.
