hmm, reading the TRM the VDPU121 claims to support:
- VP8
- VC1
- MPEG-1,2,4
- H.263
- JPEG

So at least the TRM doesn't list h.264 as supported at all on VDPU121 .
Not sure what is up with that or is Rockchip also just suggesting that h.264
should be in the VDPU381 [where h.264 is listed as featured] ?
