The audio is encoded as a separate stream from the video, so PAL
vs. NTSC is not an issue when just trying to extract the audio.  Note,
however, audio on DVD-Video is usually encoded at a 48 KHz sample
rate, so you would have to resample to 44.1 KHz when recording it as
CD audio discs for the car.  It's pretty easy to do that, though.

Cheers,

Paul.
