Just read your post, looks like you are asking about at least two distinct
issue. In one case, v4l2jpegdec does not work at all for you. There isn't much
information, have you considering prepending jpegparse in front of it ? That may
help ? Jpeg V4L2 decoder is probably one of the least tested decoder in the v4l2
lot.

In the second issue, it works, but its slow. Could it be that you are loading
the CPU ? v4l2h264enc does not automatically do zero-copy. You can
experimentally enable it passing output-io-mode=dmabuf-import.
