Now in HD! So Don’t Feed the Fish. As far as aquarium DVDs go, it just doesn’t get any better than Ambient Water: The Ultimate Video Aquarium DVD. It boasts crystal clear salt and freshwater aquariums packaged in an easy to carry (and care for) DVD. The visual quality truly is remarkable.
Each of the 10 aquarium scenes are loopable which means you can set the DVD up and leave it running all day. Four of the aquariums are 30 minutes long and six of them are 10 minutes long. Features include 5.1 surround sound, aquarium sound effects (bubbles and such), and relaxation music.
A neat feature is the ability to match up any of the aquariums with any of the sound tracks. Whats cool about this DVD is that it truly utilizes the DVD format. The playlist feature allows you to quickly jump in and watch all of the saltwater tanks, all of the freshwater tanks, or all tanks in a continuous loop. And yes, you create your own custom playlists, which is a lot of fun.

Customers find the aquarium video beautiful and relaxing, with good value for money. The video quality and sound effects receive mixed reviews, with several customers noting poor picture quality and obnoxious sound effects. The looping feature and color accuracy also get mixed feedback.

Super nice!
I bought this item through eltongoods, which had amazing customer service. It arrived on time for a party I was having. I play this through my xbox 360 in HD which is beautiful. I have a 42 inch 1080i TV and this DVD looks really nice on it. I usually play my music instead of the supplied music and sounds that come with the DVD. For the price it’s a great way to turn your TV into a pretty and relaxing screen. You can create your own playlists and play them in a loop which just keeps going. I read the not so hot reviews about this but I find it really nice and I’m glad I ordered it!

Pretty nice aquarium DVD
This DVD isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty nice. “Shot in HD” doesn’t mean it PLAYS in HD, as this is not an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc. It looks good on my 40″ LCD TV playing in an upscaling DVD player.The scenes have a good variety of fish in attractive tanks. Some buyers have complained that the fish are frighteningly large on some of these aquarium DVDs. I did not find this to be the case with this DVD, but I “only” have a 40″ screen. Perhaps the buyers who complained about this have frighteningly large TVs.The sound is pleasant on the reef or saltwater settings. The freshwater tank setting sounds a bit too much like my toddler blowing bubbles in a juicebox for my enjoyment. I haven’t even listened to the music setting. If I want to hear music while I play this DVD, I’ll play something I like.This is not a feature film or an IMAX documentary. It is ambience. If I had the time or inclination to maintain a beautiful aquarium, I would want it to look just like one of the several scenes I liked on this disc. If you stare at the screen and try to find some pixelation on a rapidly moving fish tail, you might find some. Stop finding fault and enjoy the fish show in your hassle free aquarium!

Next best thing….
I work in a 9-1-1 center and bought the video for the call-takers/dispatchers to enjoy. Since we are surrounded by computers we of course can’t have a real aquarium near the consoles. I thought this was the next best thing. Everyone seems to enjoy it. The sound quality varies with each selection. On some you will have to keep the volume very high on the TV to hear the “bubbles.” Since we keep the TV on mute that is not a major concern for us. The tanks that are the most popular are the ones that have the most active fish.We like the “loop” function that allows the same “tank” to play over and over.The “play all” feature is nice also.

Ambient Water: Ultimate Video Aquarium
I purchased this as a relaxation video as I was going to be laid up for a few months due to surgery. I love fish but don’t have the room for an aquarium. This video is absolutely awe inspiring! The scenes are as if you are right there in the midst of it. I play it constantly as it truly is very enjoyable to sit and watch. It is like having your own without all the fuss!

Wishy – Washy images
This program looked nice as advertised. However, when I ran the program, the movie clips were of low resolution. The color was all washed out, and the images blurry and overall cyan colored. Was disappointed with this program, called the manufacturer, and was told it was supposed to be shown on a big screen television. I have a high resolution 21″ computer screen, and 25″ television screen, it was not very nice to look at on either, let alone the annoying bubble sounds in the background, which cause you to lower the volume after awhile. Not at all what I thought it should be. Take it from me, I’d keep away from this program. It should be in the racks in a dollar store!

Aquarium
This is something for my kitties to look at! It has a variety of sounds to select and a variety of scenes to choose from. I like it!

The picture quality is very poor, as it is only a DVD
The picture quality is very poor, as it is only a DVD, ok I guess if you don’t have a larger HD TV. So we filed it under “G” and purchased one called HD Moods Aquarium 2.0, its in Ultra Sharp 1080 HD BLU-RAY, the picture quality is excellent as we have a 65″ HD TV.

The best Aquarium DVD I’ve found so far
Nice digital aquarium user interface design with many aquarium choices and audio options. I tested this DVD on 2 Hi Def TV systems, and 2 Standard Def systems. All video display options demonstrated very good video quality. Not quite Hi-Def quality on my best Hi-Def Progressive Scan or Digital DVD players, but very, very good.”Ambient Water – The Ultimate Video Aquarium” can be viewed either in widescreen or NTSC format too! AND is a fantastic value priced at only $12.99!!

Some lovely aquarium shots but too close up so you only get to see a small area so frequently you can’t even see any fish!The background music is awful.
