Shift Recording Quality while recording?

I have a Pioneer 810 TiVo and like to create archive DVDs of favorite movies broadcast over my digital cable system.  I know I can't edit before I write to the DVD, which is a royal pain, but I live with it.  Recording at extreme quality limits the DVD to 1 hour, high quality to 2 hours.  But a movie that goes over 2 hours - must I record at standard quality to squeeze it onto one DVD?  Is the best solution to break the recording into 2 chunks, the majority at HQ, the minority at SQ, and then write "both" programs to the DVD?
