Are you recording a movie from the screen? If so, the recording
is done by reading pixels back from the graphics framebuffer -
which is competing with the program you're trying to record.
This process isn't guaranteed for either throughput or for
fluidity. It does, however, work well enough to produce animated
movies for demo or training purposes.

Also I wonder if , when recording from the screen, you can remove
identical frames? When using mediarecorder we sometime sample amny
frames too many and get huge files of jerky movements, i.e. many
identical frames followed by a different one.
