Comment by rowanG077 8 hours ago 4k video transcoding is anything but an idle load. 2 comments rowanG077 Reply geerlingguy 7 hours ago Especially on the Pi 5, which has no hardware encoder to save on power consumption for that task. It's entirely in the CPU.(Technically the Pi 4's hw encoder doesn't go up to 4K either, though, so I guess moot point). devmor 2 hours ago Yes, that is “something intensive”, as was said in the few words of the sentence I quoted that came after the words “idle load”.
