Is there any way to change the codec in cv2.imencode?

[ImSau]

I think by default it is using mjpeg codec, so is there any way to change it to H.264 encoding?

Because I am not seeing any such param. in opencv/modules/imgcodecs/src/loadsave.cpp and opencv/modules/imgcodecs/include/opencv2/imgcodecs.hpp

bool imencode( const String& ext, InputArray _image,
               std::vector<uchar>& buf, const std::vector<int>& params )

The first parameter const String& ext defines the codec type. See documentation: https://docs.opencv.org/master/d4/da8/group__imgcodecs.html#ga461f9ac09887e47797a54567df3b8b63
OpenCV does not support H264 for images. Available options: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, VPx.
