Film Overview

Please note: The preview here is of a lower quality resolution from the purchased full-length DVD. Over 60 minutes of a real birch wood fire burning in the fireplace of a typical Cape Cod beach house. There are no gas logs here, no annoying pans and zooms, and no mantleplace is visible. A real fire without the mess. Perfect for your flat screen tv or computer. Better yet, bring it with you on your portable dvd player! No gas logs, no cheesy music, no annoying pans and zooms, no mantle or fireplace is visible to destroy the illusion... The fire starts as a blaze and progresses naturally to hot, glowing embers.

Create a toasty atmosphere for your Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's gatherings.

Volume 2 of the Cape Cod Videoscapes Series.

Reviews
**The Video Fireplace is a very simple fireplace that remains consistent as there is no decoration, scene variations, "pans and zooms" or music to select. Once you put in the DVD, all you do is press play. That makes this DVD interesting if you don't want to spend time selecting various moods and simply want a fireplace. I did notice that the speed of the flames seems to have been enhanced, although I only notice this when I look at the TV.

Mostly, I just have this on while reading and it creates a warm glow in the room. If you love having a fire, but don't want to deal with cleaning out a fireplace, then this is a perfect solution. I've tried out a variety of fireplace DVDs and this one is the most practical. The birch logs crackle and pop and make you feel like there really is a real fire burning. 5 stars for the crackling of the aged birch logs. I've given most of my other fireplace DVDs away, but I think this is the one I'll keep.

The only thing I wish is that they had filmed the fire from a greater distance instead of retaining a close-up shot of the logs. The logs could also be more artistically arranged in the fireplace. Looping would be nice, but I do enjoy seeing a fire from start to finish instead of just a fireplace repeating the same scenes.

**Highly Recommended!! Love to read by the crackling fire..Thanks!

**A+ My husband really liked it :) **Yes, this is a real fire, not gas, just like it says on the package. The birch logs are a plus! They burn very hot to begin with but then settle down to a very hearty fire, so you get the full experience of having your own fire from first flames to warm coals. The fire really looks like it's in my computer screen. I'd like to see a Hi-Def version offered.
