Both RAR and TAR are compressed archives and hence can be re-packed between each other. The easiest way is to use a program that supports both of these formats, because that will speed it up considerably. The alternative approach would be to use one software to decompress .rar files and another to compress to .tar format, which will essentially achieve rar to tar conversion.
