The ECE cut adds almost 17-minutes of additional footage and from the very beginning it feels like a new film, with more depth and context than the original (already long) version. I learned that with the remarkable extended collectors edition (ECE) cut of James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar. If you’re a completist, how on Earth do you get Plex to differentiate? The most famous of these multiple edit releases is probably the great film Blade Runner, where there are five different “cuts” available. (ideal for theater owners and TV stations, that is, not necessarily the audience or the production team). The Plex system does have its quirks, however, and sometimes I do end up with the wrong movie poster associated with a film (tip: If two films have the same name and release year, Plex gets baffled).Ī decade or two ago, your question would have probably revolved around “if I have a colorized version and the original…” but now, of course, film auteurs create long, sometimes plodding versions of their movies that sprawl across 3 or more hours and are then chopped down for a “cinematic release” that’s closer to the ideal of 2 hours. From TV series to my library of movies, ripping and archiving a digital copy of a movie is way more convenient than actually fussing with – and storing! – dozens or hundreds of DVD and Blu-Ray disks, no question.
I’ve been running a Plex media server on a Mac Mini for a long time and I’m a huge fan.
