Is the digitized footage SD or HD? I realize it might be a dumb question, but if it was shot in HDV, your deck's "i.link" output settings might have been set to DV rather than HDV. It's happened to me once... Once.

If your footage is in SD DV (and not just the sequence settings) you treat it as an offline and redigitize.
Select your sequence in the bin and run Media Manager -> Create Offline, with the *new* offline project sequence set to the correct type (HD 1080 whatever) and this will create a new project with all the clips offline (unconnected to media). Select all your offline clips in this new sequence and Batch Capture..
Hopefully your recapture will come through without any sync problems -- as long as none of the original clips were very long, like more than a few minutes or so, it should be alright

Simon and Lu are giving you the 'worst case' situation.
If you're lucky, it's not the footage but just the sequence. Open a clip in the viewer and tell it to display at 100% size. That will give you your answer real quick!
If it is HD footage in a DV timeline, just make an HD timeline and copy everything in the old timeline and paste it in the new one.
It will likely all be re-sized wrong. You can select everything and right-click it to 'remove attributes.' You can reove the motion setttings and everything should re-size correctly.
If you'd previously re-sized a clip during the edit you may have to re-do that again.
