Summary: Virtual Flames?
Review: Some reviewers thought these were real logs and some gas. I decided to take a chance on their being real; however, there is no question these are gas logs, even the ones set up on the beach.

Summary: Definitely fake.
Review: the logs are fake and don't actually burn. the flames flicker too quickly to look believable. either the gas pressure is too high, or the video is sped up for some reason. no burning coals, smoke, or embers at all, so the sound (although good) is also fake.the campfire scene is more of the same, except from a wider, outdoor shot, but the only thing that burns is the gas. the beach "bonfire" is pitiful. bonfires are supposed to be big. but since they're using gas, i guess small was safer. the waves in the background are on crack. again, they sped up the video for some reason. and it's clearly a cut and paste job. the sound (although nice, again) doesn't actually match the waves and fire. the good: scenes are stationary, sound is nice and makes the scenes believable. fireplace can be left on for long periods of time without getting annoying. the bad: it's not a real fireplace, so if that's what you want (like i did) don't get this one.

Summary: Everything I expected from a video showing a fireplace
Review: This DVD completely satisfied my expectations. I wasn't looking for anything other than a crackling fire that would be on the TV without music or other distractions. It was a nice touch to Christmas morning activities in my home. If you are looking for a basic DVD that makes your TV look like a fireplace, you will probably be happy with this one.

Summary: The Best on the Web
Review: This is by far the best fireplace dvd on Amazon or the web!! There are three different scenes and each one is great. Yeah, I think that there are some gas logs, but there are also quite a few real logs and they are both mixed together well so that there is not much variation on the fire. It's great. It will "Burn" for hours and remain constant. I've tried three of the other fireplaces for dvd and they just don't do the job. This is the way to go!!! Believe me, you will NOT be disappointed. Everything is top notch, from the packaging, to the dvd disc, to the image on your screen.

Summary: THE ULTIMATE ESSENCE OF FIRE
Review: This is just the most wonderful DVD - I live in New England and it's winter - I don't have a fireplace and don't really want the hassle of one - this is a great substitute - the colonial fireplace just makes you want to hold your hands out to warm them in front of it and by adding some soft background music from the stereo with the lights low it is sooooooo romantic - The beach bonfire with the surf sounds is wonderfully relaxing - if you can't actually be at the beach this is the next best thing that I have found - kick off your shoes and close your eyes and you can almost smell the salt air and the fire

Summary: The Best Fireplace Around!!
Review: This turned out to exceed all of my expectations for a fireplace dvd. I can choose which kind of fire I want to enjoy and it plays until I turn it off. Having three scenes to choose from is so cool. I'm glad that there isn't any canned or syrupy music playing. I can turn the volume up on my tv so that I can hear the crackling of the fire, or I can turn the volume down and play my own background music. The scenes are continuous and aren't interrupted by any panning or movements. It is an actual fireplace scene that plays continuously as if it is really in your living room or RV or wherever you are. It is very well photographed and professional looking. This is the one to buy for any time of year and for any occasion.

Summary: not a real fireplace
Review: This was a gas fireplace with fake logs. The logs never burn down like a real fireplace. Plus, I expected a roaring fireplace, not this trickle. I don't know how they did it, but even the beach fire looked fake. No logs burned down and crumbled as a real fire would. When burnt logs burn, they crumble and emit lots of embers and sparks. This lacked all of that.
