PS is actually enabled up to 48Kbps. however bitrate/quality modes are the same for video. if you require a specific filesize/bitrate then use a bitrate constrained mode otherwise use variable bitrate (quality) mode.
ah thank you for all the quick responses. so if i choose 0.25 and lc-aac but my overall bitrate ends up at less than 80kbps, would that be a bad thing? or should i choose lc-acc since using variable bitrate may have peaks above 80kbps?
I'm not convinced about the 48Kbps AAC-HE+PS limit. When comparing AAC-LC, AAC-HE and AAC-HE+PS generated at 64Kbps, the AAC-HE+PS encode sounds fuller to me, when played in my hardware player!

so what about when using variable bitrate at around 0.25 to 0.30 where my resulting average bitrate equals close to 64kbps. should i use he-aac or aac-lc? is there a downside to using aac-lc at a low bitrate? will the portions of higher bitrate sound bad if i use he-aac? granted, i'll be watching these shows through my television at first but who knows if/when i will ever upgrade to a sound system of some sort.

well i'm not trying to produce anything of professional grade. i'm just wondering the proper implementation of the profiles and method. for instance, when doing two test encodes i get two different results 1) he-aac profile using 0.28 variable bitrate gives me an audio file that is 11.3mb, 75kbps, 2 channel stereo, 24khz 2) aac-lc profile using 0.28 variable bitrate gives me an audio file that is 10.1mb, 66kbps, 2 channel stereo, 48khz i had the same input file for each and have normalize peaks to 100 checked along with keep original channels and keep original sample rate. so why does the first file have a different hertz?
If you use q values in NeroAacEnc it will automatically determine a profile. I wouldn't recommend overriding it, unless you notice there is something really wrong.
