"Thought this would appear like a fireplace on the screen, instead it was a bunch of closeups of the fire and the boxset version cut off the top of the flames"

Fireplace visions of tranquility

"This is a very convincing fireplace.I bought this because I don't have a fireplace in my house.This is actually a two dvd set.One disc contains the Fire with your choice of just the fire sounds or night music.The second disc contains your choice ofthe fire or Christmas music.These disc features 5 audio choices.You can just listen to the fire or the fire with music.You can also listen to just the music without the fire sounds.The dvd starts with a match being lit and than you see different shots of the fire on the logs.Most of these shots are about 5 minutes than it changes to a different shot.Sometimes the fire gets bigger on the log.The sound on this disc is excellent.I liked the occasinal popping of the logs.The fire atthe end ends with just embers.This is 60 minutes long.This is a very romantic dvd to watch with your sweetie.It's also should be watched when you want to relax.It almost put me to sleep watching the flames.The Christmas one is also useful during the holiday season.I would rather both music choices had been on one disc but I'm happy with this relaxing and romantic fireplace."

Fire hazard

"What is this? I bought the dvd on impulse during a 5-min "pick-up-something-else-run" at the videoshop.
The dvd consists out of nothing else but ridiculously close shots of a burning fire. 95% of the time the images are taken in angle in which you would have been admitted to the severe burns trauma center if you had filmed it yourself! Nowhere on this dvd do you see an actual full size, normal fire burning... and you may forget seeing the flames dance because they're always shot in close-up or from a weird angle. The dvd does not "flow" but is rather a cut-and-paste job of bad images that jumps into many different angles but not a normal-eye view ... not relaxing at all.
The only OK thing is the music, but not the christmas version cause that's a mix of butchered european classics! And trust me, I'm from Euope and I know my songs! LOL Unless you have $20.00 regret-money to spend, this will be a very big disappointment..."

What is this?

"As a conisseur of fireplace video programs, I would have to say that this is by far the worst. Or should I say "blurst." This DVD's technical shortcomings amount to visual misspelling, and I'm afraid I can't recommend it to anyone."
