"Dont get burned..."
The creator placed a video camera in front of a burning fireplace, but didn't bother to edit background noises like traffic - trucks - cars

Pretty much killed the ambiance which was the point of the purchase of the video...

Save your money

"Digital Fireplace"
There are four types of fires on this HD fireplace and all are vivid and realistic.

"Make a Better Selection"
I agree with Kris on almost every point. The video looks as if it were shot with a $150 VHS camcorder that never quite got its autofocus right. And after about 60 seconds of viewing, I can't take my eyes off the annoying logo in the lower right-hand corner of the picture.

The menu selection offers you three different "fires"; in actuality, it is the same fire filmed at three different stages of its existence. Yep; someone plopped a tripod in front of a fire one evening, chopped it into three segments, packaged it, and sold the result. Complete with, as Kris notes, some background noise, including a plane going overhead.

I can get my DVD's menu function to bring me back to the options; and it is, in fact, a video of a fire in a fireplace. So it gets at least two stars from me because of basic truth in advertising.

But save your money. If you want this sort of video relaxation, Amazon also carries "Ambient Fire: Ultimate Video Fireplace DVD." The packaging, in this case, looks squirrely. But the product is $4 less expensive, shot in HD for a superior image (the DVD itself is not HD or Blu-Ray), Dolby 5.1 sound, and truly gives you a choice between a few different fires that loop continuously.

"Not good for large screen TVs. There are better options."
Having purchased this DVD based on the other reviews, I was very disappointed. The quality of the video was very distorted (particularly on my 46" HD TV) and the color was an unworldly orange. If you are planning on using it on a large screen TV, I would look at other alternatives.

The packaging was also very low-quality. This resulted in the DVD coming lose in its case and getting scratched up. It took some significant effort on my part to clean up the scratches enough to make it play properly.

A Better Option:

Shortly after purchasing this one, I saw and picked up Living Fireplace DVD at a local discount retailer. The image quality was much better and it offered brick, stone, and christmas fireplaces. Best of all, it worked well in widescreen mode.

"You must be kidding"
I regret this purchase. It is essentially, three different shots of what seems to be the same fire. The only difference is the first shot has about 4 logs, the second has about 2 and the third has 1. There is also a logo awkwardly placed in the lower right of the screen. I am greatly unimpressed!
