Below is the list of VPU features from NXP (Freescale) document:

Encoding

• H.264
• 1/4-pel accuracy motion estimation with programmable search range up to [+/-128, +/-64]

• The encoder supports the following error resilience tools: video packet (fixed number of bits, and fixed number of macroblocks), CIR (Cyclic Intra Refresh), and multi-slice structure.
• The encoder rate control is configurable for low-delay and long-delay, and it is configurable from macroblock-level rate control to frame-level rate control.
• MPEG-4
