That is a very good question, but ill not answer to this. (I already have in other threads)
I'm curious to see what the answers are!

I remeber doing that with a music video that was a single .vob file.
Inside the structure of a .vob there is usually several streams encapsulated that occupy little space, but I really needed just the .m2v file, so I loaded the .vob and demuxed with the MPEG Tools of TMPGEnc.
By changing the extension you cannot actually change the data within a file, just the way Windows associates to the appropiate program to execute(my friend is a Mac user and find my Windows and his 3 letter extension funny). For example if I try to open a .dat from a VideoCD with Media Player, the video plays because the directshow filter recognize the MPEG header within the file, but is not really a pure MPEG file, it contains extra data for the VCD format. If anybody wants to check this, there is an app called VCDGear 2 that extracts the pure MPEG file within the .dat discarding the padding data and stuff, and you can see after the process that the .mpg is like 8 Mb smaller.

if you add an dat or a vob file in Tmpg - mpeg tools and then demultiplex, what files are there?
Also you can demux with the ripper too.
But the whole progress will take to much time...demultiplex then multiplex....

USe DVDdecrypter and you can split it to original sound, subtitels and mpeg2 streams.

With IFOedit you can author it again in a VOB file
