I got the following error message while trying to install .NET Framework 2.0, a software contained in the BD-Tools-2 package:
"Setup cannot continue because this version of the .NET Framework is incompatible with a previously installed one."
I also installed .NET Framework 1.1, also a software contained in this same package. Could this be the reason causing the problem? If so, how could I resolve this conflict?
Please help.

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 .
Having a problem in running YAMB.
Here is what I did:
Open Yamb -> Click on Editing -> Click to extract streams from AVI/MP4/MOV/TS files -> Import the MP4 files -> Click Next.
Then I got the following error message:
"Path of MP4Box is missing."

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.
It does not appear that tsMuxeR would accept MP4 as input file. Here is what happened when I tried to demux my MP4 file with tsMuxeR:
Open tsMuxeR -> Click ADD -> Navigate to the MP4 file and Click on it -> error message: "Can't detect stream type"

Never mind. I just downloaded the latest beta version and it works this time.

The reason you got that message, "Path of MP4Box is missing." was probably because you downloaded the version that included just the GUI,and not MP4Box.exe, MKVExtract.exe , and EAC3to.exe.
The second version has everything included.
tsMuxer does accept MP4. I got the message "Can't detect stream type", but the audio and video streams were detected and loaded, it was the subtitle stream inside the MP4 that was not recognized.

Never mind. Just downloaded the newer version 1.10.6 and it takes the MP4 file this time.

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).
Just tried your suggestion. EAC3to didn't take AAC as input file.

Did you ever try EAC3to on AAC input. I just tried it and had no luck.

This converter that you suggest does not accept aac format for input. I think I am going to pass the entire MP4 (both video and audio) without audio conversion as suggested by RUY77 into tsMuxeR to see if it would work. If it doesn't, I am going to have to give up.

No, you cannot input just the audio, you have to input the mp4 and will extract the audio to an AC3 stereo.

How exactly did you try to use EAC3to? You do realise that this is a command based program? Although, there are some nice GUI's available.
AAC audio is definitely supported by EAC3to.

Here's what I did:
Click EAC3toGUI -> At the window "EAC3to Conversion Utility v2.00", Click Brouse -> Navigate to the AAC audio file and click on it -> Error Message: "Source File does not appear to have a valid exrension".
If this is not the right way to do it, can you tell me how you would do it?
Also, I must point out that when I put a flac audio to this converter using the same method, it was accepted although the output was a kind of strange. The audio appeared to have been speeded up.

This software that you recommend is not a freeware and it costs $60 to register and it can only do file conversions. What I am thinking now is that it probably would make a lot of more sense to just buy a digital media player which can play back a lot of more different computer files from a portable hard drive and at the same time can connect to the big screen TV. The cost of this kind of player is about $100. Over the long run, it will save me money from having to buy a piece of software here and another piece of software there. Besides, it also takes a lot of time to read through the blu-ray conversion guide and install a ton of software onto the computer in which a lot of stuff in my opinion is not very useful.

No, the AudioExtractor is a free version
http://www.aoamedia.com/audioextractor.htm
I am not sure what you mean by "file conversion only".
Very very seldom I recommend a pay for software, no matter what the task, there's always a great free application that can do the job.
.
.
When you install the program, you have a choice of installing the basic free version, or the Platinum one that has some extra junk;you can get that and everything more in Audacity (FREE as well, and will convert also AAC to AC3, just need ffmpeg installed):
.
.
This would be a good buy:

You are right. It looks like the basic version is sufficient to do what I need to do for now. But the output format is still quite limited.

Then all you have to do is get Audacity and have ffmpeg for Audacity installed. Then you can convert from to whatever format you want, you can even map your own channels. All for no cost.

Would this convert subtitles also? I put my video source (in MKV format) through the tsMUXeR last night and I found that the output that I got (in M2TS) format had lost all the subtitles. Still trying to figure out how to fix this problem.

Audacity is only for audio processing.
I think you need to have the subtitle in srt format. You might have to extract it fro the MKV and convert it to srt.

After reading your comment on the srt, I went back to take a look at my source videos and I found that they all came in pairs. Each pair consists of an MKV file with the audio and video and another srt file with the subtitle. So I put both of them into the tsMUXeR and defined the output to be M2TS. After the program completed running (with no error), I played the output file with the 321 player. There was no subtitle. However, when I placed the srt file alongside with this output file in the same folder and played it again with the 321 player, the subtitle showed up. Apparantly, tsMUXeR did not do the job of muxing the subtitle and the video. Is there something that I am missing here? Any comment would be appreciated.

it's free.. why not have a look.
Still working on the subtitle problem but running into another problem. I was trying to combine 2 m2TS files into one bigger file. I tried tsMUXeR and it didn't work. Can you suggest a program that can do this?

Are you trying to "append" the two files? Do you have a video that's in two parts?
