"all of these type of questions should have some info along with it, like what OS you are using."
First, let me thank you for your response. I am currently using Windows XP and Windows Vista.
I have conducted a forum search on AfterDawn and found a lot of discussions about how to convert other formats into MP4 but what I need to do is the other way around. That is, converting an MP4 into M2TS or AVCHD. I've tried the GOTSENT which can convert the MKV format into M2TS format but would not accept MP4 as input format.

I just checked out the download page of this software and here is the comment that I saw on this page:
"RipBot264 v1.15.0
RipBot264 is a simple and easy to use GUI for encoding video to iPod, PSP, Consoles and Blu-Ray. This small app is specially for people looking for something simple without exotic filters and unnecessary settings.
RipBot264 requires the following applications to be installed:AviSynth, FFDSHOW, Haali Media Splitter, Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable Package "
It's not clear from this comment whether the software might take MP4 as input. Do you know if it would? Nonetheless, I might give it a try.

So.... tsMuxeR is not worth a look in... Ok.
You do know this is the only M2TS/AVCHD/Blu-ray muxer available completely free, right?
To clarify, a muxer simply takes the elementary streams from one format and places them inside another container format. There is no conversion or re-encoding taking place at all. However, if either of your video or audio streams are not compliant to the desired output, then your only option is to re-encode.
As Cyprusrom suggested, those two applications are good to use. Along with BD Rebuilder (if you have Blu-ray as your source). RipBot is an easier to use application, which could be good for non advanced users. I prefer MeGUI as I have more control over the quality and filters etc. But... It is important to recognise when it is necessary to re-encode and when it is not. This is why I suggested using tsMuxeR, so you can start to have an understanding of what you are working with on an elementary stream level. MediaInfo is another great little application that can help you understand what your file contains.

Thank you for writing back. In fact, I downloaded the Blu-ray conversion kit yesterday and was trying to sort it out to see if there is any limitation on the input file format. I take your comments above as it would take any kind of input format. The guide is 39-page long and I still haven't had time to read through it in detail. The other two software that you mention are also interesting to me because they specifically take MP4 as input format.

You don't need to read the 39 page guide to use tsMuxeR... And it will accept MP4 as input format.

I just started to read the guide last night but couldn't finish it because I have to come back to work today. Even so, I found the process of setting up the whole thing as suggested by the guide is overwhelming. First, there is a large number of softwares to install. Secondly, I probably have to spend some time to learn how to operate each of them. Now, if I don't read the entire guide, should I just install the tsMuxeR ignoring the other softwares mentioned in the guide and read only the portion related to tsMuxeR? I currently have 5 video files recorded in MP4 and approximately another 30 video files in MKV format. Each of these files has a size of approximately 1 GB. My overall objective is to convert these files into AVCHD probably 3 at a time so that I can burn them on single-layer DVD's without losing the Hi-Def quality. The original quality of these videos is 720P. I would appreciate it if you can suggest a short cut of doing this using the tsMuxeR.

You are probably in the best hands with Ryu, he would be one knowledgeable that would help you the most when it comes to HD stuff/Blu Ray. If you want to give him a helping hand, download MediaInfo (anyone dealing with any kind of video conversion and such should have it, or something similar...). Post a shot of the file opened with MediaInfo to provide the info about the way the video is encoded, it helps those trying to help you.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to do it when I get home tonight. I don't have these files with me at work.

if you have transcoded to mkv and your codecs are avc and ac3 tsmuxer will remux that to m2ts with no problem.

ckwan, your first file (MP4) has a compliant video stream. However, you will need to recode the audio stream from AAC (Advanced Audio Codec/MPEG4 Part 3) to Dolby Digital (AC3) if you wish to remux to a M2TS stream. Alternatively, you can use Dolby Digital or DTS for Blu-ray/AVCHD output.
EAC3to can perform this task.
The second file (MKV) is completely M2TS, Blu-ray/AVCHD compliant. Use tsMuxeR to output M2TS or Blu-ray/AVCHD.
Some things to look out for...
Your B-frames and reference frames are within the boundaries for the decoded picture buffer, and your resolution is Blu-ray compliant (720p).

Could this be done with tsMuxeR? If not, what program should I use?

Should I put the entire MP4 through this program? If not, how can I separate the audio stream from the video stream?

You can demux the audio/video streams from the mp4 using Yamb .

FFmpeg for AC3 encoding? Are you sure about this grkblood? Is EAC3to not the best choice for this as I recommended?
To add to cyprusrom's advice on YAMB for demuxing... Yes, YAMB is a great GUI for MP4box and can do the task quite fine. However, tsMuxeR can be the solution also as it has an inbuilt demuxer.

The reason that I want to do it the other way around is I want to watch these videos on my big screen TV using the blu-ray player.

Never mind. I just solved this problem by changing my computer's Regional and Language setting.
