4k video transcoding is anything but an idle load.

  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).

  Yes, that is “something intensive”, as was said in the few words of the sentence I quoted that came after the words “idle load”.
