ASF stands for Advanced Systems Format (formerly Advanced Streaming Format). It's a container format developed by Microsoft for audio and video, it is especially suitable for streaming purposes. ASF files can be made copy-protected to avoid misusing them.

If you want to convert DVD to ASF, you can use a tool like YASA DVD Ripper Platinum.

Step 2: Start the program. Insert your DVD. Select output profile.

Launch YASA DVD Ripper Platinum. From the "Output profiles" dropdown list, select "ASF - Advanced Streaming Format":

Step 3: Set input and output options. Convert your DVD to ASF.
