That's not exactly true. Vob does contain mpeg2 but the file format is not 
the same. It can't be because there can be a lot more stuff inside a vob 
than there can be in an mpeg (multiple audio, subtitles, etc.). Basically 
vob is mpeg with additional streams.

Remuxing will get rid of the additional stream that might (or might not) 
be confusing the player. As a side effect this will save some space. I 
have used mplayers mpeg muxer several times and didn't encounter any 
bugs. I'd say it is at least worth a try.
