Product Description

The idea of watching a fire on TV may seem kitschy, but it's surprisingly soothing. Fireplace: Visions of Tranquility takes you through the entire life of a fire from the scrape of the match to the slowly dying embers. You can choose whether you would like just the fire, the fire with crackling sounds, the fire with music, or the fire with music and crackling sounds. For music, choose either "Night Music" (which includes Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata and Pachelbel's famous Canon) or "Christmas Goes Baroque" (which features classical arrangements of familiar tunes). The DVD is formatted for Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 and DTS. The total running time is 60 minutes, but you can put the DVD on repeat so the fire never goes out. For a holiday party or just a quiet night at home, Fireplace: Visions of Tranquility adds a nice ambiance to a room. --Dana Van Nest

 LAME VIDEO November 26, 2008
Jonathan (New Orleans, Louisiana)
I was expecting a video that had a constant feed of a bunring fireplace, BUT instead, this video is a constant panning in and out, back and forth, up and down of a fire. The camera never stays put and there is never a full screen shot of the fire.
If you are like me and want a redneck version of a fireplace to view on your TV, this is not it. This is more like a CSI version... getting closeups and such.
:(
 Great view, inappropriate music November 2, 2008
J. Pilcher (Olathe, KS United States)
The variety of fireplace views and choices are very nice and peaceful along with the crackling sound. However, the style of Christmas music is a poor choice for relaxation. The music is up beat and fast paced which contradicts the purpose of relaxing in front of a fire. I can only enjoy this fireplace setting by keeping the music off. I like the fireplace video by itself, but I cannot recommend the DVD as a whole due to the mismatch of the music.
 Virtual fireplace February 25, 2008
M. Dormer (Andalusia, Pa. USA)
This was a gift for my son. He had the original VCR tape and was always played on Christmas eve and Christmas day and then, it finally gave up the ghost! He was thrilled to have his ambiance back again and is very pleased with the quality.
Misleading packaging and decription of an item. November 30, 2007

The reason MOST people buy a video of a fireplace is either for kitch value or to actually replicate the exact view of a fireplace in action. In either case, you are expecting a continuous view/loop of a stationery framed image of a fireplace with a fire in it. A rectangular box containing a fire. This is not the case with this DVD. If you are looking for what I described above, this is definitely NOT the video for you. I truly feel the packaging and description are misleading, except maybe that they use the word "visions" plural.
Not a fireplace, Just a fire.... November 19, 2005
Chris Miller (Southern Mississippi)
The view of the fireplace is not seen at all. The fire is more of a closeup of different angles / times. The picture quaility is good though. This DVD is not in widescreen. It is 1.33:1 (standard). The soundtrack / music is all classical music, which is ok with me, except the modern tunes. Please, "Jolly old St. Nicholas and Up on the housetop" is not what I would consider pieces to play in the classical style.
The music is in either Dolby surround or DTS, and your sound options are: 1. Fireplace only, 2. Music only (in either surround)or 3. Music and fire (in either surround). The music is too pronounced in the foreground, if you were to turn the sound down because the music is "waking the kids up on x-mas eve", you wont hear the fire crackling.
I would have perfered a fireplace from edge to edge, STATIONARY video and better mixed levels between audio and fire sounds.
