The A64 CPU will for sure allow for H264/H265 encoding and decoding, so it's just kernel support...
I spent a while checking out Mali 400 kernel driver support, but I am not sure the Mali 400 even handles the encoding/decoding - this may actually be something done by some other part of the A64 - i.e. in the video engine: https://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/...iagram.jpg
If the support matrix in project Cedrus is anything to go by, it seems only partial support is achieved: https://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus#Supported_codec_matrix
It seems like the work has been left in a nice place to pick up from though.
