Of course it doesn't sync up, the actors are speaking English!!!

Seriously though, it should not be too hard (lip sync excepted

) to get the audio from your German LD rips compatible with the video from my DVDs. Firstly, did you capture a video stream as well, and is the audio locked to that video? If not, you need to re-rip the LDs. If you're low on HD space, capture the video at a lower resolution (e.g. 352x288) and compress using the MJPEG codec.

Then you need to have 2 instances of VirtualDubMod open, in the first, load up the M2V ripped from my DVD, the second, load up the AVI containing your LD capture (or an AVS script if you so prefer). Then it's just a case of comparing the two, ensuring your AVI's length matches up exactly with the MPEG-2 video stream. You may have to cut a frame or two from certain scenes, or repeat frames as necessary. As long as the edits are limited to only a few frames, the effect on the audio will not be noticeable.

Once you have the lengths matched exactly, just save out the audio from your AVI as a WAV. You can then encode to AC3, multiplex, etc...
