I have the Riddick Trilogy (025192659423) which is a two disc box set with 3 movies on them:

Pitch Black (Disc 1)
Dark Fury (Disc 1)
The Chronicles of Riddick (Disc 2)

My question is how do I handle Disc 1??  I can only add the DiscID once and according to the rules I would need to add a child profile for each title.

Thx

Exactly.

However if it's a two-sided disc with one movie on each side, you can create profiles for each side based on Disc ID.

Yes, you can do that for your local collection.  However, due to a limitation in the program, if you decide to contribute disc 1, it has to have the information...at least cast, crew & overview...of both films.

It isn't ideal, but it is all we have until Ken can figure out a way to split them up.

But what if the 2 movies on the same disc have different audio and video?

That is a problem indeed! As Unicus said, the real solution will have to come from the program developer.
In the mean time a - very much less than ideal - way to deal with the situation in case you DO want to contribute a profile for a disc with 2 movies on 1 side of a disc could be:
- in case the video formats for the two movies differ: if one movie is full screen or pan & scan and the other is widescreen: tick the full screen or pan & scan box, also tick the widescreen (enhanced for 16:9 as well if appropriate), and in the screen ratio box use the ratio for the widescreen movie. Explain in your contribution notes what's what. (In case they are both widescreen, but with various aspect rations there's no solution - all you could do is just pick one and explain in your contribution notes which movie has which aspect ratio).
- in case of various audio formats: list them all and explain in your contribution notes which formats apply to which movie.

A.1 I think the rules still cover this as technically main feature...though i do think i have some that are Title 1 / Title 2. So I'll say I don't know on this one.

A.2 The rules do cover this (at least imho) I think this is still a box set and the year is the earliest year, run time is combined run time, and I guess CoO isn't really covered, but would fall under the same (or at least similar) problem as single movies with multiple CoO

I've also seen something like "Movies 1-6", "Movies 7-12", "Movies 13-18", and so on
(in the John Wayne: 20 Movie Pack profile, with several movies on each single-sided disc)

Well, a very peculiar one. 

According to the "Box Set" Rule, the term "Box Set" is used to define any release that includes more than one film. So, by that definition it is a "Box Set".  But then, the Rule also says to "Create individual profiles for each movie in these Box Sets", and you can't do that when there are two movies on the same side. Also, the examples in the Rules include Sets containing 2 films, one on each side of Dual-Sided DVD but don't say anything about Sets containing 2 films, both on the same side of a disc.

You may have a different version, but if the UPC is 025192659423 then it is already in the database.  Pitch Black and Dark Fury are listed as being on one disc and dividers split the two movies.

That's what I have.  What I don't have is a manual profile for Dark Fury.  For some reason, I never split those out.
