I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post my question but here it goes... In what folder should the file Flip4Mac WMV Advanced component and the Flip4Mac WMV Import component be stored? Right now it is stored in my applications folder. Thank you!

Currently I recommend to use freeware VLC player and MPlayer for Windows Media files and streams on a Mac, Linux and Windows.

Both VLC and MPlayer can be used as streaming video recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm#recmp), because they allow to save (dump) Windows Media streams to hd.
