Did you try to unmount by your file browser?
Unmount by a terminal!
The command "sudo <command>" used for Ubuntu makes you "root" for the
<command>.
You also can type "sudo -i" to become root until "exit" or "logout"
(resp. for the terminal use the shortcut Ctrl + D).
E.g.:
sudo -i
umount testvid
exit

Right, you mounted the ISO manually, it wasn't mounted by fstab. Perhaps
you wasn't able to unmount, because the ISO still was in use, e.g. a
media player was in stop modus, thus the file were not played any more,
but still in use of the media player.
If you want to use the unmount command
- make sure that no application is taking access to the device you want
to unmount, even a terminal changed to the directory that should be
unmounted will ban an unmount.
- be sure to be root ;), in a terminal use
sudo unmount [...]
or use
sudo -i
unmount [...]

It's written that .vro files are .mpg files, thus you only need to
rename the files by using the rename option of the file browser or the
move command for the terminal emulation:
mv /path/to/input_testfile.vro /path/to/output_testfile.mpg
spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$ ls Desktop
my_video.vro
spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$ mv ~/Desktop/my_video.vro ~/Desktop/my_video.mpg
spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$ ls Desktop
my_video.mpg

What GUI did you try and what problems occurred?
