I can give you a short shot in the dark of using it with RM 5. It most likely will not work. RM 5 uses thumbnails and not the original media. RM 4 used the media itself. The media might be transferrable, but leave original in place for RM version 5 to prevent link loss. Any other ideas wopould have to come from more experienced users.
