I agree with Thibault that the first option is the best. The second one looks too cluttered. So +1 to "a. List each device profile separately:" About one profile being enough for Android. Is is true that all Android devices will want the same video and audio codec, but the width/height depends on the screen size of the device. And there is a lot of diversity in that aspect. Having a video too big for the screen would be a waste of space, and one too small would be sacrificing quality. I'm afraid, Android video profiles can't be a one-size-fits-all solution. That said, a bit of research would probably trim down the Android list, checking all the duplicate screen size devices on it :) My two cents, Luis >> >> >> b.
