Virtual Fireplace videos are continuing to grow in popularity, why?

Well think about it like this. Fire has always been fascinating to man, it has always been a gathering place, warmth makes us all feel good inside and watching the flames dance is always mesmerizing. Now take the stagnant environment of the normal home and add a virtual fireplace video on the TV screen and you have a visual that everybody can relate to and many enjoy when the weather turns cold.

What is the best format to use, DVD or VOD?

DVD is the platform of choice when it comes to long form visuals like ambient fireplace video, because of the clever little auto looping function that a DVD can incorporate. With visuals it is not like a movie where you are watching from beginning to end, visuals are a mood setter, so you want them to play continuously until you turn them off. Most companies like Netflix or Amazon VOD don't have the ability to seamlessly keep looping the title.

Which One Do I Recommend?

For $9.99 (Can't beat the price) you can get "Fireplaces, Fishtank & Lava" from VJWorld Visuals. It is HQ DVD (which means it will play in virtually every DVD player including Blu-Ray which will upscale it or with a DVD player connected through HDMI and again it will be upscaled to look fantastic on your HD screen) it has 5 different titles, a Classic Fireplace, Modern Fireplace, Camp Fire, Fish Tank and a Full Screen Lava Lamp. That is $2 per visual, great deal.
