It grabs the first audio track every time, unless you tell it otherwise. For all the dvd's in my collection, that's english. Don't have any experience with overseas dvds. If you don't insert a blank, it'll close after extraction and give you the command to enter to burn it. This way you can mplayer the .mpeg file to check for correctness before burning.
