This is probably a basic question, but I have Bud Spencer and Asterix movies that have only been released in German/Italian on Blu Ray. The only English language releases are on DVD. The cut is the same. If I rip the DVD audio and add it as a new channel using the Video-Nix tool, it is a different length. What is the best way of stretching/compressing audio to fit a time, without any weird audio artifacts, using easily available, cheap/free software (Audacity gave it a strange echo) please?

Yeah, unless you care more about the German/Italian audio, it's better to change the video using eac3to, since that's a lossless change, and you don't need to worry about pitch or anything. A command like the following should work:
eac3to C:\example\file.h264 C:\example\file2.h264 -25.000 -changeto23.976
The resulting video might not be fully Blu-ray compliant, though, slowing down 25fps video from a 1080i50 Blu-ray container stream to 23.976 resulted in either choppy playback or no playback depending on the player when I tried it after burning the file to a BD-R, but I imagine playback using a PC or other file-based playback would be fine.
