I was helping someone on some other forums sync audio on a DVD they created with DVD Flick. I decided that I may as well share my guide with everyone here (in case anyone is interested.) Note that if you used a program other than DVD Flick, this will still work. If you use VirtualDub (mentioned below,) you can only open AVI Files. For other filetypes, you will need to find another demuxer. Everything else should work the same, though.

There are a lot of steps, but it is a relatively fast and easy process. Also, all the software is free and legal. Lastly, I'm rather proud of myself for figuring this all out myself.

1. Download IfoEdit http://www.ifoedit.com/, VirtualDub http://www.virtualdub.org/, Audacity (Beta) http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/, and PgcDemux http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PgcDemux.
2. Open VirtualDub and load the AVI. Under the Audio menu, tick Direct Stream Copy. Next, under the File menu, select Save WAV.
3. Once the WAV file is saved, open it in Audacity. Under the File menu, select Export. Save the file as AC3.
4. Now, open PgcDemux. Browse to the DVD files that DVD Flick created. Select Check A/V Delay. Now, make sure you only demux the video stream. Hit Process!
5. Open IfoEdit, and under the DVD Author menu, Select Author new DVD. Under the Video field, select the file you created with PgcDemux. Under the Audio field, select the AC3 file you created with Audacity. Now, set the output directory and hit OK. You're (probably) done.
6. (Specific Case) If you want to include multiple titles on one disk, you will need DVD Shrink http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cd_dvd/copy_dvd/dvd_shrink.cfm. Here is an excellent guide for using it. It should only take a few minutes to learn and master http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cd_dvd/copy_dvd/dvd_shrink.cfm. Use DVD Shrink to add multiple titles to one DVD.
