All I can say at this point is, ‘they say’ it helps in reducing filesize. Honestly, I won’t be able to go over why such variability in framerate exists when recording. I recently purchased FV Camera Pro which gives the ability to record in a specific framerate, unlike the default camera app that comes on CyanogenMod, Stock Xperia Z2, or even using the Google Camera app. This variability in framerate prevents non-linear editing software like Lightworks to be able to import these kinda videos. The trick is video recorded by my phone, Xperia z2, always happen in a variable framerate. I use Lightworks on Ubuntu for my video editing. After recording video with my phone, it’s time to edit.

The reasons are many, but in my case, converting videos are kinda a must. This is how I convert videos in terminal in my Ubuntu using avconv (FFmpeg). Nonetheless, the *nix blessed us all with the Terminal, a place where, even when blind, you could still get something done, such as converting videos. Switch over to the camp of Ubuntu, or the *nix clan in general, and the options aren’t countless. On Windows, video conversion software are countless, I guess.
