Help, problem installing iDVD

Question

Yes, I have read other posts on this topic.
I have iLife 9 with iDVD installed with Mountain Lion.  iDVD link to download old themes takes you to blank app store page.  So, was trying to manually install old themes by marking them as favories.  Now iDVD crashes immediatly after launch.
What I have tried:
--Removed all Favorites themes from Application Support-->Library-->iDVD
--Reboot
--Downloaded iDVD 7.1.2update from Apple Support and installed
--Deleted iDVD and tried to install iDVD 7.0.1 from Apple Support but will not install unless previous version installed.
--Tried to reinstall iDVD from iLife disk using custom install but iDVD is greyed out.
--Tried to install iDVD from iLife Package but will not let me install packages individually without using installer.
My next thought would be to reinstall old iLife 9 from disk over newer updated copy.  Then I would need to re-download and install software updates for iLife.
Any other suggestions before I nuke iLife?
Thanks,
Hotoru
Rant: Why would Apple put iDVD to pasture while it is still the default means to burn DVDs from iMovie?

First, one should not put their emaill address in a post as that offer it up to spiders that toll forums like this looking for emails to spam.  I've asked the Hosts to remove them from your postl
What system are you running?  Liion or Mt. Lion.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
