2 days and seven attempts later, I have been unable to open a particular AC3 file in Womble. This disc in particular is the R1 speical edition of Resident Evil: Apocalypse. First thing I noticed today when I open the disc in DVD Decrypter:

W 16:59:07 Possible Structure Protection Found!
W 16:59:07 19 areas have been marked as 'suspect'.

W 16:59:07 Dummy sectors will be inserted where necessary.

Next, I noticed (last night, didn't give it much thought) that I didn't get a window to select the disc's region code when I opened DD. Finally, the disc label only shows up as DVD_VIDEO, instead of (something similar to) RESIDENT_EVIL_APOCALYPSE. The error is pretty general, stating X file cannot be opened, doesn't mention corruption or a protected file. I tried ripping from both versions (pan-and-scan and widescreen) and no dice. Any ideas?

sounds like a bad rip or copy protection.
Try to rip the dvd with anydvd. Demux with pgcdemux.
Remux with imago mpg muxer.
Load this into womble.

Any DVD can just rip audio, right? Video is fine, minus about a minute and a half of blackness at the start (though, the video does look a tad washed out when compared to the sequence in RE1 I need to edit into).

when getting the elements for editing,I use ADM's guide,and if Decrypter has a problem,just run AnyDVD in the background like Boon said,works just fine.

Yeah, I've been using ADMs guide since day one. This is literally the first time I've had any problem with anything doing an edit. Worse comes to worst, I'll rent Apocalypse this weekend and try ripping from that.

That's alright. I got it to work with AnyDvd. Hopefully Extinction won't be this much of a problem.
