It's really hard to say without knowing what software you're using, or even what operating system you're using. The difference between 'user' and 'nice' is priority, somehow the software encoding is being run at low priority.
You should consider user + system + nice, though I'd assume video encoding would be almost completely user-time cpu computation, with only a little time spent in the kernel for I/O.
