DVD Reviews of Ambient Fire: Ultimate Video Fireplace DVD (Shot in HD)
DVD Review: Nice Ambient background...with glitches
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoy the ambient DVD's. I have owned for two years (most if not all) the ambient series of DVD's. I have water, fire, sleep and calm. They all have wonderful visual definition and great music. I like that they allow you to customize the visual and audio, depending on your own mood. For example, the water one will allow you to have sound effects of the tank or reef with or without music or with or without sound effects...whatever. The fire has an option for music off/on and sound effects off/on too. It is good for Holiday party background and you will get both weird looks and questions from people. Especially if you are using this instead of a real fire (when you have an unused fireplace nearby). I also love that if there is a looping play, it is not noticable either because the loop is so long or because it is a wonderfully done fade.
I bought them looking for some night night videos for my children. Reading books seems to energize them and after about 5 bedtime songs, we were looking for something that might make them feel sleepy. I already had an old VCR tape called Solitudes that captures some video of Loon Country and my son would respond to that video by growing very sleepy. So, I started looking for some good cinematagraphy that might also accompany some soothing background music. At the time, my youngest son seemed attracted to fish tanks. I like them too so when I saw the ambient water, I thought ok, this is interesting. They have a website just do a quick search) that let you see clips and I liked what I saw. When I saw they had a calm and sleep DVD, I was hooked. After all, isn't that what I was looking for to begin with?
What I don't like is paying so much money (I think they were about $75 plus shipping) for all four DVDs only to find that there are glitches and snags in the play after only owning and playing them about a month. We are very meticulous about the way we handle our DVD's and most of our DVD's and CD's don't show anything more than barely discernable scratches. Our player isn't too blame either, as it plays everything else just fine. The play just freezes up or hangs for no apparent reason. Happens with every single one of the DVD's. I'm assuming it is a manufacturing detail. No, I didn't complain. That's really not my style and I don't have time. But, I do write fair and honest reviews. So, there you have it.
Over all, I think these DVD's have super potential. I love everything about them except for the freezing up. If your kid screams or throws a fit and has a hard time transitioning to bedtime or if you or a child just needs a little quiet time right before bed, then just turn out all the lights, snuggle up tight in a good chair (cause you will probably fall asleep too..don't want to drop baby) and turn one of these on.....BUT contact the company first and tell them you know about the issue and ask them to send you non defective copies. That way, there is a known issue as soon as you buy and a reason to return them later that wont sound made up after the fact. Hope you get some good copies!
P.S. Try Mindflo 3 for a wonderful experience (not customizable though) without the annoying glitches. I'm about to write a review right now. Awesome cinematagraphy. Awesome. Expensive, but worth every penny.
Description of Ambient Fire: Ultimate Video Fireplace DVD (Shot in HD)
Shot in HD! Look, but don?t touch.Yes, the warmth and beauty of a wood-burning fireplace is mesmerizing. But, all fires and fireplaces are not created equal which is evident from Ambient Fire: The Ultimate Video Fireplace DVD. Visually, the DVD leaves nothing to be desired. It looks spectacular.
There are a variety of different fireplaces on the DVD, obviously a desire to cater to everyone?s taste. There are "just logs", a marble fireplace, a "modern" fireplace, "just flames", a "cuddle-up-next-to-the-fire Holiday scene" which features lots of holiday decorations and a train going around a tree, and even a campfire scene. Features a total of 9 different scenes. Smartly, they?ve made the most "desirable" scenes 35 minutes long and scenes like the campfire only 10 minutes. Of course, you can loop any of the scenes for endless playback.
Includes 5.1 fire sound effects and a variety of music choices including classical, guitar, and holiday. You can even choose to have the sound of fire mixed in with the music ? a nice touch. This DVD, like its aquarium counterpart, Ambient Water, includes built-in playlists as well as the ability to create custom playlists.
