3/5 NOT the BEST but better than nothing.
  by MoeRoe from MA
It's just okay. The problem is you never really see a full raging fire. It begins with a slow to medium flame then NEVER changes at all (kinda boring that way). I also bought "The Fireplace DVD" by Plasmacandy. IT's way, WAY better! You see inside the fireplace at different stages of the fire and it's quite believeable. I could watch this one for hours and it's soooo relaxing! I'm buying more for great gifts this winter. This will help those "firepit" junkies wait out the storms.

5/5 Northern Minnesota

The other reviews on the DVD is what convinced me to buy it - they were right! This is a wonderful fireplace DVD. Growing up in Northern Minnesota a fire was common, now living in Chicago this DVD brings me a piece of home. I would caution that there is one loud snap/pop that made me jump. After the first time I noticed it much less.

5/5 Best of the cozy fireplace videos
  by FrancisXavier (St. Paul, MN United States)
I bought four different versions as I downsized from a house with a real fireplace and miss it in my apt. Of all these, this is the best visually - just see the fire, has a very clear picture with good color hues, and it fills the screen and plays indefinitely. As another said, no bells and whistles. No outline of the hearth - just shows the interior of the fire so your tv becomes the hearth frame. No electronic music or distractions.

5/5 Great Fireplace Video

This will be great this Christmas. I don't have a fireplace but this will look great on my 50" TV this winter. Great DVD. Worth every penny.

4/5 DVD fireplace

This is a great virtual fireplace for those interested in one without the bells and whistles. After a short fanfare with production logo, it goes straight to a pleasant wood fire, with crackles, that auto-loops until stopped. I rate this, 'just right'.
