I think that statement makes no sense. x264 can produce a 100% "Baseline" or "High" profile conform streams. That's for sure. So those profiles are fully supported!

Maybe it doesn't use all "features" allowed by those profiles, but who cares? A profile says which features of H.264 you are (dis)allowed to use. It surely does NOT say you must use all of them

It's a decoder that must implement ALL features of a profile, because a conform stream may potentially use them.

But using features in an encoder that are completely useless, just because they are allowed, makes no sense. Also from all that I know "Extended" profile has NO practical application...
