Great fires.

I rented this first to see how these fireplace dvds really look - and I loved it so much I had to buy Virtual Flames. The fact that you get to chose scenes is great, and the endless looping of each scene lets you just leave it on in the background. The ambient noises are relaxing. If you want a good fireplace dvd, this is the one to get.

Not really DVD quality video; probably VHS just copied to DVD format

I was disappointed with the clarity of the video. It truly appears to be a VHS tape converted and copied to DVD format. And of the three available choices of fires, only one is close up as if looking into your own fireplace. I guess it will have to do until I can find one with better definition.

Rather Disappointing to Me.

After reading the rave reviews on this site, I purchased this DVD with high expectations.

I am disappointed.

CONS - The picture is blurred and grainy, much like that of an over-used library video. Ghostly black stripes, just subtle enough to distract, roll constantly from the left of the screen to the right. They aren't as prevalent in the beach and campfire scene as they are in the fireplace scene. Darkening the screen helps somewhat.

Some reviewers have complained about the fake logs, but they look real enough to me. The beach scene has some weird background going on. That's the creepiest surf I've ever seen.

PROS - The sound quality is very impressive. The snaps and pops are distinct. It sounds like a real fire. I like the fact that there is no annoying background music. The fire never dies down or goes out.

If you're looking for picture clarity...keep looking. This DVD doesn't have it.
