I have a 2 hour long home movie. I was wondering if there is a real noticable difference between HQ settings and Standard Play settings. I don't know if I should leave the movie on one disc in Standard Play or break it up onto 2 discs in High Quality settings.
Sometimes the movies look a little pixelated on my LCD widescreen TV.

I don't use the Fit to disc option. I use the HQ as default, burn to an image file and use Disc Copier to transcode to fit. 2 hours is not going to be excellent quality and on an LCD (don't have one yet so I can't say from experience) I'd split it into 2, 1 hour discs or, if you have a DL burner, go to a DL disc. They have come down in price recently.

THE BEST quality using any software will be ONE hour on a 4.7GB blank disc and abt 1 hr 58min on a dual layer. Whether or not there is any 'noticeable' difference between HQ and SP is purely subjective.

I recently purchased a 1080p LCD TV myself. My little 10yr old grand nephew was visiting and made a comment how 'fuzzy' everything looked. Well, I don't subscribe to HiDef programming and standard definition does look fuzzy 'up close', But when viewed from 10 feet or so, it's looks fine (to me).
