close up destruction

[adibrook]

This is pretty funny.

Out of my big collection of tube amps and other tube gear, i found 3 tubes which were burnt out or broken.

So i decided to dispose of them the usual way...by shooting them with a 5.5mm rat rifle and watching them explode.

Only this time there was a twist. I built an armoured box to contain my phone, with a hole in the side for the camera. The box protected the phone from bullets and flying debris.

I put the phone riiight next to the tubes, bout 10cm from them, and then shot them.

The armoured box did it's job and the phone survived. I have soem awsome videos of very close up destrction.

Only one problem. they are in .3gp format.

Does anyone know any software that i can get for free that converts .3gp's into windows vid files like avi?

I downloaded IMtoo, but if you dont register it than it only converts about half of your vid!

These vids are great. I wanna put them on the net as soon as i can.

Sounds cool, Try to figure out some type of converter for you.

I found a converter, but it's pretty crap. Also, it prints some stuff over your vid in big letters unless you pay $29.

I know at least one free converter exists, because i dod this before once.

Anyway...hers some cool screenshots.

Hers me hitting the tube's pip....in the middle frame you can actually see the bullet!!!

Shame about those damn yellow letters!!!
