Actually, I don't think it is necessary to start over (at least, I hope so). In my case, I loaded several CS4 projects into CS5, never touching, tagging, moving, renaming, or doing anything to any of the "resource" files. Initially CS5 makes a new project file from the old CS4 one, thereafter all videos and other resources worked exactly as in CS4. Note CS5 doesn't change the file format (or directory structure) of anything other than the project file (which is why they give it a name different from CS4); all other files remain identical to what is used in CS4.
However, I am suspicious of trying to mix 32-bit software with 64-bit software, but that is only a suspicion.

SD video 'shouldn't' really pose too much of a problem in either suits as a result, but I seem to remember that some of the files AP uses in the two versions do reside (yet again) in different folder structures to each other, causing the problems you are seeing. I think the only way to stop this happening is to (I'm afraid), start again with the original footage, although, I seem to remember there is a way if transposing the clips from one version to another. If this involves having to 'tag' every clip in CS4 so CS5 will 'see' it from its original folder then re-tag it again when imported, creating the correct file structure in CS5, remains a mystery, although, not out of the realms of modern Adobe logic! Might be worth googling the problem as I too seem to remember another user having the same problems well into last year before.... Sorry I can't e more specific.
