looking for fireplace DVD (1 Viewer)

I've been looking for a fireplace and a aquarium DVD that simulates them on the TV. Haven't found it on DVD.Thanks for any help! Bryan W

Can't help you with the Aquarium, but there's a fireplace on video on the December 2000 Inside DVD Magazine disc.

It runs right at 30 minutes, but then starts over. The disc also has a crappy copy of Scrooge on it.

I was able to find both at Amazon.
Just do a search for "aquarium" and "fireplace" in the DVD section...

I've seen Fireplace at my local Borders, so check yours. I think it was $16.99, by-the-way, but take it with a grain of salt.
I picked up the original Aquaria disc at Suncoast in my local mall. That DVD-18 (the original one, by-the-way, even before The Stand) has now been replaced with the 5-disc Aquaria Collection, so you may only find the latter. Anyway, the DVD-18 version was $24.95; I think the individual 5 discs are supposed to be about $8 or $9 each.
The same folks put out the "official" Fireplace DVD as well.
I say "official" because there have already been a bunch of imitators of each one. I'm not sure if the one mentioned as being in the magazine disc is like a demo of the one from DVD International or one of the imitators, but those that have seen each tend to note that DVD Intl.'s is superior in various ways.
I don't have the Fireplace disc (I have a real one), but based on Aquaria and all of it's options I tend to believe it. I like their description, too:

Yes... this is an 70 minutes of burning wood. But it's not just any wood. This is OAK.. and everyone knows that oak is the best wood to burn in a fireplace. Oh yeah... and there is audio. MAJOR audio. Listen to this!

Good luck finding it! Like I said, check Borders and Suncoast, and perhaps FYE if they are in your area. I've never seen these at Best Buy or Circuit City myself; I guess they're not considered wide appeal.

Now, Why would you want such a dvd?

Thanks everyone this helps. By the way Jen I don't have a fireplace and I don't want to clean the fish tank!
