In my rarely humble opinion, you are lucky any of the pro apps work at all after migrating. Studio really runs best on a start from scratch on a bare drive installation.
Your mileage may vary.

Everything's working perfectly fine though except for the MPEG2 issue and I wanted to wait until Snow Leopard hit 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 before installing it and wiping my drive to do a fresh install of everything.

We've seen too many reports on this approach to installing.
