I'm using the DivX5 guide and want to convert two ac3 audio streams to mp3. I have selected 2x vbr-mp3 on the bitrate screen in Gordon bitrate tab and specified the approximate bitrates(160 and 128). I'm going to fit on 2CDs. When I try to save and encode, I only have a button to save the first audio job. I have both files selected and the proper custom parameters entered. Any ideas what to check?

[list=1] Click on Encoder tab
Click on Add Job
Click on Audio 1 tab
Select file and your parameters for transcoding
Click "Add Audio-Job to Encoding Queue" button
Click "No" button in response to prompt, "Job put in queue! Do you want to start encoding now?"
Click Add Job button
Do it again, respond with "Yes" to start encoding prompt
[/list=1]Dual audio track encoding is possible with Gordian Knot, but only if Gordian Knot is managing the video encoding and assembly, with DivX3/4. Since you're only using it as a resolution and bitrate calculator that can also conveniently transcode an audio track, you must do fancy things manually.

Thanks, jjimi, for your response. I still could not get an Add Audio button to show on the Audio 2 Tab, but I changed the file on Audio 1 and used the button I found there and compressed it after the first audio job completed. Since I only going to feed the resulting mp3 file sizes back into Gordian for a new bitrate, I decided that it would be OK to lie about which file was being used as audio track 1. I mux them manually anyway.
