Can I encode video from the camera input into H264 format? Are there drivers or software available from ST? I am using the STM32H757

You need to find and license a library from a third party that offers it. STMicroelectronics does not offer any software protected by patents.

Encoding H.264 without hardware acceleration on Cortex-M it is pretty insane anyway.

Better use hardware JPEG encoder and save/stream M-JPEG - that should work reasonably well.
