Actually, the extension refers to the container.

Renaming a VOB file to an AVI is incorrect, however, DirectShow tries to detect the real file format through reading the data, rather than relying on the filename.  Of course, this may be different depending on what player you use.

Really though, sending a VOB straight though should have no problems.
