STM32 and H.264 compatibilty

Is it possible to encode a H.264 720P 24fps video with one of those STM32 Cortex ?

What should I be careful about ?

(I am using an OV7670 for the camera)

Thanks for the help

ST has released its STM32MP2 series of MPUs, some of which (STM32MP255x, STM32MP257x) do have hardware-accelerated h.264 encoder/decoder built in, up to 1080p at 60FPS. See the datasheet for details.

Please note, though: this is not an MCU, but an MPU (microprocessor units). You will need external RAM, as well as non-volatile memory to actually store the software you wish to run.

Sure, you can encode h264 using a 8080, or a 6502, or even a piece of paper and a slide rule. It would just a really long time.

If you are asking if it can be done in real time, no.
