If the flop cards are Q,8,6,5,4 and player #1 had 7,10 and player #2 has 7,5 does player #1 win or do you split the pot in Texas Holdem? We had this happen in our home game and I said player #1 should win. Am I correct?

In this case, it's a split pot. Remember, in Holdem, although you have 7 cards at your disposal, only 5 of them matter when it comes to the showdown.
Both players have a straight, 8 high (natch) and that is it. Whether a guy holds an Ten or a Five with his 7 is completely inconsequential as it's all about the 5 cards.
The only way this could have been different is if someone held 7,9 because that would have made a straight, 9 high. Hope this helps...
