Please do not send HTML mails here and do not top post (means don't

I'm not sure what profile x264 conforms to, but apparently, Google
being my friend:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=89979

x264 limitations: "x264 doesn't do any of extended profile or high
profile. (Though "extended" is misleading, since it's all about error
resilience, and is worse in compression ratio than main profile.)
Properly dealing with adaptive interlacing in all cases takes lots of
code. x264 doesn't support interlacing.
There are a few other features not supported..."

Regards,

Guillaume
