You could use an app like goldwave to edit the audio file, chop 1/2 a second from it in the right place and reburn. Should be quick as the audio file is already correctly coded You probably have dropped video which is not being coded, but no drop in the audio. 14 frames is .56 of a second on PAL(/25) and .46 of a second on NTSC(/30).

Watch the DVD find where the sync slips and not the time, find a quiet part near there and slice.

I imagine the audio has not dropped any time, but the picture has.

Short term you need to kill all other processes on your PC when doing this (no surfing, emailing etc, disconnect the network cable, turn off zone alarm...)

Mid term you need to consider if your hardware is sufficient, Mac is the easy way to go, but you can get a barebones PC with a AMD2400 160Gb HDD motherboard with most of what you need on it for not much cash. An AMD1800 will probably keep up without breaking a sweat. SATA HDDs will be good to consider on the upgrade path.

My PC has two 80Gb 7200rpm SATA150 HDDs in RAID0 giving massive HDD bandwith. AMD2400 and has no problems with capture. Video editing is not a graphic intensive process (its all 2d), so a top flight graphics card is not necessary either Radeon 9100 64Mb does me.
