Phones finally gained built in screen capturing, but they capture a variable frame rate. There are various ways to deal with it in the vijeo editor. The vijeo editor could just handle variable frame rates. This would be lossless but a major rework. Playing a file with variable frame rate would require more than adding 1 to the frame number, 23.97 times a second. It would mean binary searching for a time stamp for every frame played back. Most of the vijeo files lions deal with are constant frame rate.
For a certain phone app which redraws at 7 to 8fps, there's
ffmpeg -i screen-20220120-164225.mp4 -r 23.97 flat.mp4
The output framerate has to be high enough to get smooth interpolation of the input fps. Most howto's collect their adsense here & leave off with the crummy quality this produces. The lion kingdom wanted to change that.
ffmpeg -i screen-20220120-164225.mp4 -c:v h264 -qp 0 -r 23.97 flat.mp4
This sets the output to lossless, -qp 0. Lions have normally stopped seeing any significant losses at -qp 25.
