.asf to .avi, .mpg or DVD convert problem


Dear friends, I ask you for advice: I capture streaming TV from one web site with the Replay A/V v.8. The urls have the following appearance:
Win: http://www.webtelek.com/wtm/pe96342a...ce3fc2cfec.asx
Win: mms://38.117.74.178/ch7-8?sid=648308584
Win: mms://38.117.74.178/ch7-8

The files I get have the extension .asf, and WM Player gives the following information about them: video/x-ms-asf.
I wish I could burn that programmes and serials on DVD. First I tried to convert .asf files to .avi or .mpg, then to .vob and DVD files, but there were always problems. Here I paste the list of the programmes I used and some of the errors they gave me:

+MOVAVI VideoSuite 3.4 (smtimes convert, smtimes no result)
+Replay A/V Converter new (bad audio/video sync; low resolution)
+SUPER © (bad audio/video sync)
+Total Video Converter v2.603 (FLV convert) (poor video, then “Cannot open the file”

-Wise DVD Creator 8.0 (no result)
-windows Media Series 9 (only to .wmv)
-Alive Video Converter (output not watchable)
-virtual dub (doesn’t support) & virtual dub mod (lacking codec)

After trying all these programmes I understood the problem was in my laptop, I lacked some codec to convert these .asf files, I looked for codec and tried several of them, the I uninstalled all codec, KLite codec pack and video software I had, installed others, as a result the things got worse: WM Player 11 and Real Media 10 started to display an error and couldn’t already open the .asf files and streaming video. I have lost even a codec for watching files I have reinstall WM Player and Real Media also, no result. Now I can still download streams but I can only watch them with Winamp or VideoLAN. I have no restore system point either.

If anybody can explain me what codec and programmes do I need to turn the .asf files to something watchable on DVD? Thanks!

Windows XP SP2.
Sorry for mistakes.
Elena.
