Is it possible you’re using your desktop’s GPU for ffmpeg encoding, and not the CPU, by chance?
No, you need to manually specify that, and the options are more limited, so I usually do CPU encoding unless I’m prioritizing encoding speed over quality for some reason. (And yes, I have verified it’s using the CPU by looking at the CPU usage while it’s encoding).
