Ok, so like many others my idvd 08 was crashing on startup. This is the fix that worked for me. I will post two though since there seems to be another.

Fix one:
Run Onyx (repair permissions)
Dump iDVD permissions
restart
Reinstall iDVD (only install iDVD not the other stuff)
repair permissions
restart

Fix two:

Step 1. Go to your personal Library/Application Support/iDVD folder
Remove the Installed Themes folder
Step 2. Go to the system Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes folder
Move the themes from the old versions of iDVD to some other place
I chose to move all of the themes from iDVD 1 thru iDVD 6 out of there.

The first fix did the job for me when the second did not. Honestly not that happy with iLife 08 but what can you do....
