A better way would have been to use VideoReDo on your
..mpg file before you authored the DVD. VideoReDo can
work with most .vob but they give no guarantee. If it is, as
you mention a case of a frame rate difference, then the
problem should gradually increase as the vob plays. To
make your job easier next time you might also try capturing
in smaller clips.

Normally cutting a TV show at the commercials will give
you 5 or 6 clips for an hour show. If after cutting them in
VideoReDo, you are still out of lip-sync, there is under
"Tools" an "Adjust Audio Synchronization" that will let you
make millisecond adjustments plus or minus.

VideoReDo is a handy tool that has sometimes surprised
me with what it can do, but it's not magic. You may need
to find something else, to "convert" your "AVI" ( whatever
it's actual audio&video format) to DVD compliant MPEG.
