The RPi has an h264 encoder capable of that. On very old RPi, you can use
omxh264enc, on newest PI and distribution, the encoder is v4l2h264enc. An
example pipeline would be (untested):

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! jpegparse ! v4l2jpegdec ! queue ! v4l2h264enc
output-io-mode=dmabuf-import extra-controls=s,bitrate=1500000 !
video/x-h264,profile=constrained-baseline,level=4 ! rtph264pay ...

I'm not sure if RPi jpeg decoder actually works, and if dmabuf-import works
on this platform, je replace with software decoder and no import if it
fails. The h264 level probably need to be constrained to the
rate/resolution, I know this driver does not take care and will happily
fail instead.
