mtwMigrator works so simply and fast, I didn't believe that it actually did anything, but it worked as advertised. First, you do a fresh install of Joomla 1.5.x, then install mtwMigrator as a component into this fresh install. To configure, you provide the server, data base name, and login credentials for the 1.0.x data base, and set some export options. Finally, hit go, and wait a few seconds (large Joomla sites may take longer than that).
You will have to re-install components and monkey with the template, but mtwMigrator handles the tricky data base conversion and installation steps. Besides the fact that I actually got it to work, it was much less stressful than the "manual" migration process described at http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_1.0.x_to_1.5_Stable (which I never did get to work).
The documentation is almost non-existent. The video uses an older version of the software (without configuration options), but it shows you all you need to know to run the migration successfully.
