How to add commentary track (2nd track) to SVCD from AVI?

[Mildew]

I've got an AVI ripped from DVD that contains two audio tracks. One is the main track and the second one is the commentary track from the DVD.

Is there a way to convert this to VCD or SVCD that will preserve the secondary commentary track so I can switch to it while watching it on my DVD player? Or do VCDs and SVCDs only support single audio tracks?

I dropped the AVI onto ffmpegX but the new interface doesn't allow me to read all the audio information. The info for the second track is cut off:

mp3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 116 kb/s
Stream #0.2:

LOL. Thanks, major. How long has that tutorial been up at your site? I haven't checked the tutorials section of your site for a few months.

I followed the tutorial at your site, but it didn't work for me. The conversion to SVCD works fine, but as soon as I try to mux the video and two audio files, it fails with the following error:

There are other warnings, too:

Try the XSVCD choice in the "Mux as.." tool.

Thanks, that worked.
