  Use Encore’s “Automatic” setting.
  2 hours is pushing it for a single layer disc in terms of quality, and will result in a bitrate of 4.82 average with VBR encoding.
  (Encore will automatically use VBR encoding at anything under 6Mb/sec as a rough guide)
  Whether or not this is acceptable will depend on your source footage.
  If there is a lot of rapid motion & fast stuff, or heavily detailed scenes, it might not be sufficient.
  To test, try taking the busiest clip you can & transcode it using the following settings:
  VBR 2-Pass
  Peak Bitrate = 9.41Mb/sec
  Average (Target) bitrate = 4.82Mb/sec

  Write to an RW disc, and see what it looks like…..
