I am trying to find the Moonlight MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-4 AAC decoders.

From the "MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 decoder comparison" thread ( http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=99402 ), at least the Moonlight MPEG-4 AVC decoder is available as part of "Moonlight-Elecard MPEG Player 3.0".

The newest version of Moonlight-Elecard MPEG Player seems to be 3.0.1 Alpha ( source: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=319922&view=findpost&p=585917245 ).

I have been unable to find a download for Moonlight-Elecard MPEG Player.

Where may the Moonlight MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-4 AAC decoders or Moonlight-Elecard MPEG Player be acquired?

Moonlight ceased to exist long long time ago you can leave the Moonlight away it's Elecard only now :)
you can get Elecards Products from their website as trial under www.elecard.com and they have a online shop where you can purchase the products some products though can only be purchased by businesses :)
I guess this is what you search for http://www.elecard.com/products/products-pc/codec-pack/avc-codec/

I have tried Elecard MPEG decoders in the past and was dissatisfied. The filters were too unstable.

I wanted to try the Moonlight decoders to see if they are of good quality output, performance, and stable.

Ascii2 like with every Software product the quality is growing with the time as bugs get squashed and improvements developed so they don't have to be unstable anymore compared to what you tested @ that time against, you should at least re evaluate them once and then make your decision based on that evaluation :)
