TMPGenc desired bitrate/audio question

I haven't used this software for over a year, and I have no idea what
settings I used to use! Please help me choose the best options... I'm
shooting both indoor and out with an XL1, and I'm burning the movies to
DVD...

1. Often, I have about 2hrs (slightly less of footage) - I seem to
rememer not using the 720x480, but going for a lower res to produce
"less choppy" but lower res video. I'm pretty sure that I was unhappy
with 2 hrs at 720x with PCM audio since each frame looked good, but the
overall effect was choppy.

2. I also will occasionally only use 1 hr of footage, and can't
remeber what settings at all.


For each of these - what are my best options regarding resolution,
audio (PCM vs. MPEG2 - CAN I EVEN TELL THE DIFFERENCE?), and duration?
Also, do I just use the default interlace and field setting B options.
How about noise reduction? And what is my least acceptable bitrate for
each resolution for good results...

Thanks.
-Steve
