Review of the Fireplace DVD of the Fireplace XL DVD
I love this dvd.....It shows a great picture on my Sharp Aquos tv.....There's no shifting views or zooming...just a great looking fire...The various different fireplace scenes are beautiful and very relaxing. You can play it with the sound of the crackling fire, or music or you can play it with both music and crackling sound... There are many different fireplace scenes to choose from on this video. I love the looping feature so that way I can replay a certain fireplace scene if choose to do so...WONDERFUL DVD!!!

Review of the Fireplace DVD: Fireplace XL
I really love my DVD of Fire XL! It is exactly what I was looking for to create a cosy, relaxing ambience at home during the dark winter months. I would recommend one to anyone not able to have a real fire (tenants/flat dwellers).
At first I thought that the fire would run for the entire length of the DVD and was surprised / slightly worried to find that the longest continuous footage of any one fire was about 25 minutes, but it's actually not a problem at all, as the DVD either replays the fire you've just watched continuously on a loop and the fade in and out you barely notice, or you can have it set to play all 3 fires in sequence. The gaps in between are tiny and softly edited so you hardly notice it change or restart.
I have not watched TV since I bought Fire XL, much preferring the cosy and calming sounds and glow of a crackling fire. I love it and have bought 3 more for my friends for Christmas, who are also chuffed to bits! It's great!

Review of the Fireplace DVD: Fireplace XL
Having no chimney or flue in the barn conversion, this is the next best thing.
I read a mass of reviews on other fireplace DVDs picking out the few “fussy” comments that had been written by a critical eye. Oddly a lot of people just say great, fine, looks good but wanting the “best”, I honed in on a really critical reviewer on another fireplace DVD that had in the end, after returning other fireplace DVDs, opted for “FIREPLACE XL” and left a reassuring good review. This reviewer had first hand comparisons of fireplace DVD’s that I wouldn’t get as I can’t be bothered with buying something for a tenner & then returning it if its not quite up to my expectation. I’d just put up with its disadvantages.
So “FIREPLACE XL”..... all positive comments from me! It’s all good, long run times on the fires (I have yet to see the fire loop, but I know it must at some point), very sharp & clear picture quality, shot not too close & not too far away from fires. Good log fires & sounds. My norm is to put the DVD on the “with music” setting and then just relax to the “new-age” style back ground music, ideal if you have guests around and want to chill out and chat by the fire without having striking melodies intruding into your conversations.
An odd effect & the wife noticed this as well, the barn lounge is 32 feet x 16 feet and is never much more than bearable warm at best but after playing the DVD during the first evening, whilst fiddling with the aquarium, I was down to a T shirt and still sweating!?! It must be a subconscious thing! so saves on heating oil as well!!

Review of the Fireplace DVD: Fireplace XL
I own two other fireplace DVDs. I thought they were nice, until I purchased and viewed this one. It is wonderful! It’s called a “fireplace” DVD, but you don’t really see the fireplaces themselves. A little of the backwall of the fireplaces show when the fires burn down. But the fires look more like close up outdoor natural fires. I LOVE that! The music for the three long fires is spectacular. It is so-o-o mellow and relaxing. The three themed fires are also fabulous. One looks like it was filmed through a soft filter, but is still very nice. My favorite is the first fire. It is slowed down a bit and combined with the beautiful music, I can literally feel myself relaxing. I highly recommend the Fireplace XL DVD!

This video looks and sounds great (only have the fire sounds on, not interested in the music).
Our TV is on the wall and shows it off nicely. I read a review, not necessarily about this video, which said it didn’t fit properly on a large flat screen, but this does and looks really good.

Review of the Fireplace DVD: Fireplace XL
I purchased this for use on Christmas day as despite playing music in my livingroom whilst chatting to family, no-one can avoid staring at the focal point, which happens to be the TV and not a fireplace. This DVD did not disappoint and formed quite a bit of discussion as we just couldn’t believe how warm and toasty the room felt, and with the heating turned off! Loops very well with minimal pause between scenes, lots of choice in turning on music or fire crackling noises. All in all a bit of fun but saves on the fuel bills!

Review of the Fireplace DVD of the Fireplace XL DVD
A nice, simple DVD of three fires, with or without music. I bought one for my parents who, like me, have been around fireplaces most of their long lives. This one is easy for them to use, since they can resume the same fire whenever they want.They spent the afternoon today playing it as they read and snoozed.They prefer the fireplace sounds over music, which they can hear all over their compact apartment.

Review of the Fireplace DVD of the Fireplace XL DVD
Hard to make up my mind what to choose -- you have so many! Such excellent photography. I don't want anything with background music. I'd like anything with birdsong. And I'm interested in aquariums. Maybe another fireplace or two.
Cheers!
I am really happy with my Fire Ambient DVD. I've had real fireplace for most of my life, and I'm fed up with the mess and bother. On the widescreen TV in my apartment, I enjoy it almost as much. I can see it out the corner of my eye as I work at my desk, and my guests love it too. I burn Chinese stick incense, the kind that smells like woodsmoke, to add that 'odourama' effect, which contributes more to the realism! Speaking of which, the psychological effect is such that if it's not cool in the house, I start to feel warm.
The sound is great, too. In fact, when I hear a log fall against the andiron, I start: I have a reflex action to push the log to the back of the fireplace! And I love the way the fires progress -- way better than a gas fake fireplace. And I often just put on the video of the plain gas flames, too, which fit in with my modern décor. The campfire with the crickets chirping was a lot of fun when we had friends over for dinner this summer.
I enjoy rainy Saturday afternoons when I can curl up on the couch and listen to the sounds of the gently crackling fire. I can't wait for the cool evenings to 'light' a fire, and soon enough there'll be Christmas.
Good job, Ambient people. I will buy some as gifts. My parents will love it!

A very nice CD to sit back and relax with in the evening. I now live in an area with hot weather, so no fireplace is necessary and I do miss it. So it is very nice to sit and be able to enjoy a roaring fire again without getting over heated.

I purchased several ambient DVD's from Isis Visuals but just received my newest called Fire Places XL. I needed one for my guest bedroom which gave the welcoming responses of a calm yet warming affect. Being winter with such a chilling effect, this DVD came with a variety of fire places with scenario choices. With soft classic music or just the natural sounds, being my favorite selection of the cabin scene. The photography of my other selections are very professional with looping for a continuous view. Almost forces you to relax!

My wife and I recently sold our home and moved onto a boat. One of the things we missed the most was the warmth, glow and peaceful sounds of the fire in the fireplace. As the weather turned cooler I found the subject of the fireplace, romantic atmosphere and cozy feeling in the house coming up almost daily. I started researching the available fireplace DVD's and, after a phone call to ISIS (customer service and personal interaction were outstanding, I selected the 2012 version of Fierplace XL filmed in 1080p. The DVD arrived as advertised, on time and is OUTSTANDING! With the addition of a radiant heater and a realistic volume selection it feels, looks, and sounds like a real fireplace. It has greatly enhanced the quality of boat life (didn't think that could be done... we LOVE living on the boat)during the winter months and add that little push toward the holiday atmosphere. Thank you Tony for your personal service and the outstanding quality of the product. We have also now ordered the Tropical Reef DVD and are amazed by it as well. Having given up my saltwater aquarium, this is quite a treat and NO work to maintain.

Just got it today and listening/watching it now. It reminds me exactly of my real wood fireplace when I lived in the country. Its the perfect companion when it is -40 outside and I want to read a book. Great addition to my other ISIS purchases (beaches/waves, streams/forests, walking and cycling).

I bought this DVD after admiring it as it was playing in a pub in Cornwall ! We play it on the TV, especially at this time of year, to give the room a cosy ambience and it does just that . There are many different styles and types of fire to choose from on the DVD and in addition you can choose to have music and fire noise, or just the sounds of the fire (which I prefer to be honest) .My only complaint would be that the filming is done in such a way to "cut off" the tops of the flames, but that's only a niggle really. There are many "fireplace" Dvd's out there, but in my opinion this is the best.

A lovely experience.,
This dvd lived up to the good reviews that lead me to buy it. The fire fills the whole screen and the sound is realistic. I especially like that you can play it without music, so it is good for year round enjoyment not just at the holidays. The other night I put it on as my kids camped out on the couch and they fell asleep to the crackling fire sounds. I enjoy putting it on as I knit and crochet. It's a really nice DVD.

Cozy Fireplace,
Lovely ambient sounds of crackling fires. Perfect for relaxing when you are enjoying a book or having people for dinner.
Unobtrusive and calming. The visuals go all the way to the edges of the screen, so it really looks authentic. A nice way to have a fire without having to clean out the grate.

Just what I was looking for,
As a Floridian you can imagine how few times we get to burn logs...those of us that even have fireplaces. I don't, but this is an excellent substitute. I got tired of my best friend inviting me over with a fire going and making it a point to direct my attention to it. So, I went looking for a DVD like this. I LOVE it. The video is outstanding on my HDTV and my "fire" is huge not the small size of hers. I just sent her an email telling her to stop by when it's dark so I can show her something. Now, I've got to get working on that wonderful smoky scent real fireplaces have. Any suggestions?

Crackle Crackle,
As I write I am listening to some lovely string instruments and piano as the fire I cannot afford to have crackles nicely in the background (yes that is the DVD playing). My candle burns for scent and I don't have to clean up any ash or wood debris. I enjoy it a great deal; so much so that I plan to buy a copy for my office - I work at an Assisted Living facility and think the elderly ladies and gents will enjoy the visual mellowness and memories of a beautiful fire.

Flames and crackling wood promote a sensual atmosphere.,
I have never purchased a product like this. However, I loved the DVD from the first time I watched. I got the sensation that I was actually in front of a roaring fireplace somewhere in the ski country of New Hampshire or in a townhouse with a fireplace in the West Village,NYC. The sights and the sounds have a sensory impact on you. A lulling effect. The viewing is very relaxing and you forget everything but the sights and sounds of the fire. Time flies by.

This DVD is excellent as it has all the quality of your own fireplace. The audio choices are great with multiple relaxing music tracks, or the option of just sounds of the crackling fire sooth and warm the soul. Then there is the option of music with the crackling sounds. This DVD is a hit with everyone I have shared it with.

Review of the Fireplace DVD: Fireplace XL
VIVID,
This is fabulous. This is the third fireplace DVD I have purchased over the last 6 years, and it is the absolute best. The fire looks real. We have a ridiculously big LCD television in our living room. When it is on, it distracts and overstimulates our toddlers.
However, when I play this fireplace DVD, the kids calm down and start playing nicely with each other. The even talk in quieter voices. The flames are totally real. You can even see the bright blue colors at the base of the flames. It's just lovely!
There are long fires and short fires. You can listen with music or without. There is a campfire, and fireplace fire, and others. They all look great. The Christmas fire has a sort of haziness to it, but it's fine too. I don't usually use the music, but it's also very nice. I generally just use the fireplace sounds to provide a calming background to our living room.
My mother in law liked it so much that I got it for her for a Christmas gift. She actually jumped up in happiness when she opened the package. IT'S THAT GOOD!
If you don't have a fireplace in your dwelling, and you really miss it, this is the DVD to get.

Fire DVD,
Our living room doesn't have a great place for a television. The only place we could come up with was in front of the fireplace on the hearth. We will never build a fire in the living room because the floor is carpeted and it makes such a mess, so having the TV there works perfectly. This DVD provides us with a realistic faux fire and sound effects. There are several choices on the DVD, music with fire sounds, just fire sounds, different kinds of fires, etc. Looks and sounds very realistic.

Review of the Fireplace DVD: Fireplace XL
Ambience and psychological warmth!,
As an adult, I had fireplaces in all my houses but one, and my RV in which I lived for a period. Then I moved into my current home, which, regretfully, doesn't have one. In the winter, even though the thermostat says it's warm, I feel cold. The psychological effect of a fire cracking on my 46" TV while reading or working on my laptop is satisfyingly wonderful.
This disk has three programs to choose from -- one with fire only, one with music and one with a holiday theme and music (hearing the same song over and over again is not to my liking). I prefer the plain fire and add my own music. The fires are natural. The very tops of the flames are not visible, but I have seen that in real life and don't find it unacceptable. All can be set to replay automatically.

So Glad We Purchased this DVD.,
We absolutely LOVE this DVD. We leave it on in the main room of our home. Our TV is deep set into an entertainment center which would be the perfect place for a fireplace anyway. The picture is so genuine that people have actually walked up to it with their hands out to feel the heat and then were surprised when there wasn't any;)
Also love the fact that the DVD just keeps repeating so that you never have to actually restart it. Just put it on and leave it on....period.
The ambient sounds of the burning logs just make the whole image that more authentic.
The fact that the disc arrived so fast was just another plus.

Saved Us Hundreds $$$,
Wow! We wanted to install an electric fireplace in our bedroom in our RV and were planning on removing the tv.that was already installed as we don't watch tv in the bedroom. I saw this option and thought we may as well try it. It is the perfect solution for us. Seems like a real fire and not as fake as the electric fireplaces. Sure it doesn't put out heat but we have a heater for that. Saved us hundreds of dollars and I think we are more satisfied with the DVD. Love the crackling sounds and the option of adding soothing music.

The reviews were so helpful! This is the perfect fireplace DVD. The sound of the fire is awesome (realistic) & the music that you can choose to accompany the fire crackle is soft and soothing--not cheesy at all (pleasant surprise). All around, it is very classic. Not cheesy like some of the other ones seem from the reviews.

Review of the Fireplace DVD: Fireplace XL
Wonderful!,
When I first put the DVD on ( I prefer just the crackling fireplace without the 'new age' music) I swear I could smell wood smoke.
No matter which fire you choose, it's a simple, direct view of a blazing fire. It crackles and settles as it burns. Each fire lasts about 25 minutes, I believe, and then either loops to itself again or another fire, depending on what you choose from the menu. I wasn't sure if it would be a good thing to buy or a corny piece of nonsense, but I love it and guests in my home love it, too. It's soothing and reminds me of my childhood in wintry northern climes.

Fire DVD - Fireplace XL,
This dvd is great - the logs in each of the several styles of fire are well placed, and fill the view without any distracting or unattractive background visuals. I like the natural crackling sounds for most occasions but appreciate having the meditative music option as it increases the usefulness of dvd. Further, since the filming was done apparently on a real fire the logs burn down making it more realistic than e.g. those fake logs in a TV credenza-type heater fireplace and preferable for ambience without the heat.

Love this fireplace DVD. It's winter and we haven't stopped playing it. The option to cycle through the three different fires is like having some one come and fill it up. The feeling of a fireplace without the mess. One tiny disturbance is the screen going black when it renews, but all in all, we love it.

A hot little gem!,
We love this DVD! Sounds cheesy to watch a fire on TV, but is so relaxing to read a book by, putter in the kitchen. Most fireplace videos are 55 minutes long. This one though lasts two hours or one continuous loop. You won't be sorry spending a little more for this DVD.

We love this DVD. As corny as it sounds it is quite soothing and relaxing to sit by our "TV fire" and read when it is cold and blustery outside. You can choose just the fire crackle or soothing music or Christmas music.

Realistic!!!,
Excellent product - the fires are extremely realistic and have surprising depth. The sounds are wonderful and very authentic. Even the musical choices are great with high quality sound. Love it!

Love it!!! Great atmosphere for holidays or for just background...calming,
Cheaper and takes up less space than having to buy a fake fireplace stand. Love the different fireplace looks, the sounds and music. Great atmosphere without the heat of ash cleanup. :)

I actually like the sound better than the visual. My wife, who disliked the idea of the video really likes it, too! Very relaxing and a great background for times when we cannot burn.

Like this alot!,
I really enjoy this DVD. It has different sounds with the music or just the crackling and poping fire, or both.
I am sure I will use it alot this Winter, and at Christmas time.

Perfect,
This was exactly what we needed. Our friend fighting cancer and homebound wanted to hear and see a campfire, one of his favorite things to share with his family.

Great but would love Hymnscapes,
Only thing that could improve it would be hymn instrumentals in the background.

Perfect digital fireplace!,
I ordered this DVD and another after discovering how much I enjoyed my Kindle fireplace app - I have a real fireplace, now with an electric insert, but found that I liked setting the Kindle with the fireplace vid going next to me while I read my eReader Kindle (yeah I know)...so I experimented and ordered the DVDs to play on my large screen TV in the late evening while reading. The first DVD I did not like very much and was disappointed then put this one on her TV at my sister's house for Christmas day - we left in on pretty much the entire day we liked it so much playing in the background while the family did our thing. It has 4 different sets of fireplaces & fires (all close up) and an option to play all four in a permanent loop which we did (the fire with the pine cones was our favorite). It includes 2 versions of the 4 scenes - one with some spiffy mood music which is nice and the other with fireplace sounds.
Images are crisp and clear (even on a larger screen) and the sound fits perfectly - each fire begins with the initial fire and plays thru till the fire dies down...then expertly and quietly loops back to the beginning. Compared to the other clunky DVD this one is the clear winner! I know it sounds silly but it really does set a calming warm mood...

When I told a friend how much I missed my fireplace aftr moving to retirement home, he told me about your Fireplace XL. Skeptical at first, I ordered. I have never been more pleased! What can I say?
Realistic, relaxing, and such a great conversation piece. Friends love it. And so do I. It's almost like having my fireplace back.

I love this video. The footage is realistic, high quality and the sounds are just like that of a real fireplace. I appreciate the fact that you can choose from one of several fireplaces and they can be played continuously. Music can be added by itself or with the natural sounds of a fireplace. This is HD quality and does not shake or zoom in on the screen. It is like looking at a real fireplace without the warmth. If you add a campfire or pine scented candle in the room gives a very complete relaxation experience.
High quality with stunning HD color & clarity. Realistic sound and many scene choices. I have purchased many relaxation DVDs and these are among the finest available.

The Fireplace XL DVD performed very well. The picture quality is good and the fire sounds were realistic. After an afternoon bonfire outside on Christmas eve, we retire inside to celebrate in front of the "TV fire" and it really enhances the ambiance. We like the fact that you can choose between the different fires. I would recommend this DVD.

Absolutely beautiful! The crackling of the fire is enjoyable to listen to. I am amazed of the filming of the natural fire colors and the burning fire from beginning to end. We transferred the video to a usb flash drive and play it on a Samsung tv small enough to fit our fireplace opening and have the video looping continuously. We were told that so far only a Samsung tv can loop a video. We also bought an aquarium video which is also absolutely beautiful!

This was a Christmas gift and it was perfect. I have seen it in use since gifting and really liked the natural sounds of the crackling fire. My friend loves it.

"Good value"
Overall very enjoyable but the "themed" fires aren't really different; the Christmas one has pine cones added and the outdoor one is supposed to have bird sounds but I don't detect any. The optional soundtrack is nice enough but I expected there would be different tracks for the themed fires; perhaps Christmas carols. It does what I wanted and I would buy it again. of the three similar DVDs I bought I use this one the most.

"Hot Hot Hot!"
I have fibromyalgia so am home most of the time being a slow sloth around the house. I love to turn this FIreplace XL on and turn it up since I'm the only one home. We have a ''fake' fireplace that is beautiful but doesn't have the same crackling sounds as this DVD. I love them all, the fire at the campside, the hollow sound of the fire in a cabin, It's so relaxing and beautiful. The mesmerizing fire on the tv screen. I grew up with fires in the fireplace burning and this is so nice, thank you!
