just a small note to potential customers. the company mentions "just another use for your HDTV" FYI buyer beware, these are in DVD format and DVD's have resolution of max 480p, so if you have an HDTV you will not be watching it in true HD, reguardless if it was "filmed in HD" or not. even if your DVD/BR player or receiver up converts the picture to 720/1080i/1080p it will still not look as good as it would if it was available on BlueRay. I am not bashing the product, just mearly trying to make a customer aware of what they are truely getting. enjoy, and thanks for reading.

1)Each fireplace is around 8-10 minutes, too short.
2)Not that high definition.
3)8 fireplaces, but only 2 look good.
4)Was let down in a nutshell.
5)I prefered the OUTPOSTFX (Plasma DV) fireplace, the fireplace takes around 40 minutes to wear out and it looks much better.

The fireplace scenes on this DVD include a Red Brick, Stone, Modern, Dark Marble, Light Marble, Christmas (also has presents and candles) or Psychedelic Fireplace.

You can select music only, crackling log sounds or just the fireplace scenes. They can either rotate endlessly or you can view one at a time with music, which seems to be the most relaxing experience.

Audio options for the music: Smooth Jazz, Ambient, World Beat, Orchestral Piano, Acoustic Guitar and Christmas Music.

The Christmas fireplace with the Christmas music or Orchestral Piano seems the most relaxing so far. The stone fireplace seems to work with the World Beat music, although the music seems to be a little more fiesty than the fireplace.

You might enjoy listening to the "Candlelight Guitarist CD," while playing the fireplace with no sound. With the option for no sound at all, you can have a fireplace and your own music as an additional option.

~The Rebecca Review

Love this video. The crackling fire sounds make you want to rush over and close the screen. The realistic images make you want to rush over and rub your hands together in front of it. We live in a small co-op in Rossmoor (Walnut Creek) California. Now and then we just NEED a fireplace!

I miss not having a fireplace and this dvd turns my 50" television into one. Love the 19 different fireplace and music choices! Would recommend this highly!

I bought one of these videos for my wife. My daughter saw it during Thanksgiving and insisted that Santa bring her one for Christmas.

I love this fireplace! I don't have a real one so this is nice to have on in the background while you have a nice conversation with your friends.

After reading the reviews, I bought this DVD. I was disappointed at how unrealistic the fires are. They burn way too fast. And the music selection is very limited. Any music choice, just plays 1 song, and continuously loops. So if you select Christmas- you get Jingle Bells over and over. The high def, is definitely NOT! Overall, my husband and I were very unpleased. We suggest you keep looking (we are)!

fireplace scenes were pleasing.
scene selection was difficult; the normal program link did not work.

I like the Sierra Nevada Cabin fireplace dvd much better. This is all letterbox framing so part of your tv screen is black. Way too much hearth shots - they should add a direct shot of the interior of the fireplace without a hearth shot. The choice of hearths doesn't do a good roaring fire justice.
