Well, first you'll need to ensure you have Premiere Elements versions 4 and 9 installed on your computer. You do NOT want to open these projects with a version of the program other than the one that created them!
Otherwise, the toughest thing will be finding a decent way to output MP4s -- since AVCHD output wasn't added until version 10.
The smart thing to do might be to output videos as DV-AVIs and then using a program like Quicktime Pro ($29 from Apple) to convert these files to MP4s.
Although, if you're going to edit this video in Premiere Pro, why output MP4s? Assuming these are standard definition videos, why not just output DV-AVIs, which Premiere Pro will have no problems editing. And you can even use CS5.5 to create MP4s from this video if you'd like.
