A great study companion

"I was going crazy trying to figure out a way to study my schoolwork but not become distracted. I found that with the TV off, my brain would search around the room for something to do. When I had the TV on and muted, I was always distracted by the action on the TV. I bought this DVD on a whim partly because it had the 16:9 ratio and I wanted to see how it looked on my new TV + plus it was cheap - why spend money on something you may only view a few times as a novelty? Anyhow, I had a paper to write that I had been avoiding for weeks. I just couldn't get it started or maintain focus for more thana few minutes. I popped this DVD in since there was nothing on. I found that the fireplace with the ambient sounds was perfect for my task. I was able to concentrate and when I wanted to think, looking at the fireplace was a relaxing distraction without taking my mind away from the task at hand. I am now on the search for more of these types of DVD's to run while I am working on studies. This was fabulous - and quite a deal! Quality in 16:9 was excellent. the logs are real and there is someone who tends the fire and adds a log now and then. The music is OK, but the ambient sound is best as far as I am concerned - although it was hard to hear so I had to turn up the volume quite a bit. Still, a great video for the price."

Colors are less crisp than other videos

"I do not have a high definition tv - but have a good tv. I like the "Sierra Nevada Log Cabin Fireplace" and the "Virtual Flames" dvds better than this. This has a nice roaring fire but the colors are dimmer than the other ones."

Best Video in World

"This video is the best video in the world!!!! The Christmas music is very relaxing - classic guitar. The fireplace scenes make me feel warm.

We have a fireplace, but would cost money to have it cleaned and is a hassle and really gives off only slightly more heat than the TV when watching this video.

There's Mozart, Christmas music, or crackling sounds depending on what you like. My video was from[...] - Looks like this one with same name, so I'm pretty sure its the same one."
