ok, the village idiot is back.
I was able to sync the new audio. then we I rendered the new file, it is just under 2 GB when I originally started with a 4 GB+ video.
I used DVD Decryptor to get the video files off the DVD. Then I coverted to a mpg file which was still 4GB. I used SoundForge to sync the new audio with video and then rendered in Sony Vegas.

anyone know what I could have done wrong?
thanks for all the help I have gotten already and any future would would be appreciated.
