In MC versions prior to v5, EDL Manager needs a tapename in order to be able to generate an EDL. If you copy the shoot date to the Tapename column, I think you should be able to pull off creating an EDL.

Also note that it is often better to not use “Get Current Sequence” in EDL Manager, but rather open the bin with the sequence(s) from within EDL Manager. Somehow, that’s a less buggy workflow.

Adrenaline has SD I/O only, unless you buy one with the DNxcel option card, which gives you HD-SDI I/O as well. But only one stream of HD with Adrenaline.

Nitris (the original, often called Classic Nitris these days) only works with Symphony. It has been replaced by the Nitris DX.

Symphony is an expanded version of MC, it has all of the features of MC, plus Universal HD Mastering, and some extra color correction features.

Nitris DX will give you all SD and HD I/O’s, plus – like classic Nitris – it accelerates MC and Symphony, and has plenty of bandwidth for more than just one stream of HD.

Did you do a clean install of Snow Leopard before installing MC5?

AFAIK, NXCAM is AVCHD. So it is handled as such in MC v5, through an import.

Anything with mixed framerates will have a (green dot) motion adapter applied, automatically. If you want to adjust the speed of a clip that is not in the project’s native framerate, then you need to open the motion adapter and promote it to a Timewarp effect.

Why don’t you update to 4.0.5 rather than 4.0.2?
Also, did you try new user settings?

Always, always, clean install when changing to a completely different OS.

P.S.: there is no Media Composer 4.6. There’s 4.0.5, and there will be a 5.0 in June.
