First problem: dvds want audio sampled at 48 khz, so if you reader is picky
audio will desync very soon. Add -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000.
Advice: install libtoolame and use -oac toolame: it sounds much better.

If desync persists try to add -mc 0 -noskip or -vf harddup.
Second advice: at that bitrate you had better use a saner keyint value: 
18 for NTSC
or 15 for PAL
