Hi Any 'easy' system is, by its nature, going to be limited, so you'll probably need to leave the cosy cosseting of DW and delve into the code ;-)
I don't know anything about CS4 as I don't use it, but for adding video and controlling flv files, you could look into some simple-to- use jQuery tools such as http://www.flowplayer.org/ which may offer what you need.
