iDvd 5 problem on Intel Macbook!

I am having problems running iDVD 5 on Intel Macbooks. iDVD 5 loads up, the themes show up in the side tray and the music plays. However, the themed "images and drop zones" are not visible in the main window.... in its place, only a black background with the word "Travel cards" on the Travel theme, "Memories" on the Memories theme, etc, etc.

I've deleted every reference to iDVD (packages, plists, aliases, etc.) Emptied trash, rebooted, reinstalled and repaired permissions.
