Review(s): DVD Fun View TV - Volume 1: Fireplace, Fish, Snow & More
Great instant fireplace and other scenes too
I bought this DVD for the instant fireplace. It's awesome for that feature alone. The fire is realistic, it fills the whole TV screen, and it crackles like a real fireplace. I swear the room feels warmer when we have it on! And the other features are a good bonus. The beach is not my favorite, because the tree looks fakey, but the kids like it. The party scenes are good background stuff to put on when you have people over. There's a lava lamp, and flashing disco lights. I often put these things on without the sound and play our own music on our sound system. It's better than having TV with commercials on. We like the view of the clothes tumbling in the dryer for "visual white noise". If you have to get a toddler (or a daddy) to sleep, this one works a wonder!
My Favorite Holiday DVD
I was genuinely surprised how many great scenes you get with this DVD. The Video Fireplace is an instant classic - I highly recommend it for any Christmas party. My kids love the fish scene, they can watch it for hours... Great value, excellent quality.
Fireplace scene is good, but overall DVD is disappointing.
The fireplace scene is good, but that's about it. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I wasn't impressed with the other views. Many of the images (like the fireworks, trees in the ocean scene, leaves in the autumn scene) are computer renderings that do not look real.

A good first attempt at a "high-def" fish tank. It is certainly superior to other offerings out there. It has "plasma" in the name and plasma screens are typically smaller than DLP
due to the extra expense. It would have been nice to have one or two of the looping segments have the fish the right size for my 60 inch DLP TV. Perhaps when HD-DVD/Bluray DVD's and players become available it could be reshot with this in mind. More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 01 November 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

I just received the "Waves: The Best Caribbean Beaches" DVD in the mail today. I am extremely pleased with the visuals. The beaches and waves are very relaxing and soothing. I sat down and watched the whole thing on my widescreen TV as soon as I took the disc out of the media mailer. The visuals were spectacular! I only wish there was a function that splashed my feet whenever the waves lapped past the bottom of my TV screen!
Thank you Greg Voevodsky for producing such a wonderful DVD. I am really looking forward to the future HD Waves productions. I can only imagine how spectacular those will be. Keep up the great work!!!
I purchased this product because I dont have a fireplace and have thoroughly enjoyed it! I like the fact that there is 3 different fires to choose from. Cant wait to turn on Christmas morning!! This DVD was one of the highest rated and I would have to agree. I would highly recommend. More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 01 December 2003 Usually ships in 24 hours

Saltwater aquariums are breathtakingly beautiful, but onerous to maintain. The exception is The Classic Aquarium DVD--a "no-care" aquarium with white sand, exquisite coral formations, large barnacle clusters, and a host of colorful tropical fish. View the full aquarium with the 40-minute full-tank option or follow the paths of individual fish in the eight-minute close-up segment. Tranquility and beauty reign in either, and each sequence offers a crystal-clear picture and a repeat function for continuous play. Audio choices include gentle beach surf, authentic aquarium bubbling, and New Age relaxation and meditation musical tracks in both DTS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. An on-screen "fishography" provides aquarium enthusiasts with detailed information about the...
