other DVD settings like one that plays for an hour and one that plays for 2 hours? Is it really noticeable?

I don't know. I can say that when I am copying VHS tape, (and you know that the signal from that is a bit degraded anyway) a bitrate of around 4000 gives an identical output - ie no visible quality loss. For my own movies from the digital camcorder, I choose to use high quality.
You may be able to experiment yourself - using a photo program, save a still image as a jpeg; first at high quality, then medium and low. Then see if you can tell the difference. That's essentially what you are doing with video bitrates.
