You do realize that 2hrs = 120 mins.

Most encoders have an option to split video's. The ones I've used for spliting require you to put a mb amount in so it's your best guess to where half is about.

Another thing most dvd burning programs that encode their files have built in compression which allows you to have more than the 120 mins on a single dvd.

What size is your movie? If it's under 4.35GB you'll be able to fit it on one DVD- no matter how long it is.

Run it through DVD Shrink before burning. It will resize the movie so it will fit onto one DVD.

It comes down to what sort of quality you're after. You could have the same movie with a different bitrate that would only be half the size of the one you have.
