I was instructed to post this in a new post.

I'm trying to convert a mp4 file to AVCHD so I can put it on a DVD and play it on my blu ray player.

It is x264 (mp4) with AAC audio. I tried AVCHDcoder but it faults during the audio conversion. I did a little research and it has been reported that AVCHDcoder has an issue with AAC to AC3 conversion.

I'm wondering if there is another GUI I can use to accomplish this or if it can be done manually by a novice. Is there a list of steps that AVCHDcoder goes through that I can mimic using the same programs and tools?

Here is the media Info generated text file. Thanks for your help.

of course there is. one of them is MeGUI.
you can use it to re-encode the aac audio to ac3 and remux to a proper container for AVC-HD.
also if the h.264 stream is not AVC-HD compatible, you can even re-encode that using an AVC-HD preset.

I didn't have any succes with MeGUI but multiAVCHD worked for me.
