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

Wikipedia comments on this question:

"[...] H.264 is protected by patents owned by various parties. [...] The commercial use of patented H.264 technologies requires the payment of royalties to MPEG LA and other patent owners."

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.
