Here’s the accurate breakdown for your request:

Q: Is there a 1080p version of the extended cut?
A: Unofficially, some fan upscales exist. Officially, no – Sony has not released the extended cut on Blu-ray.

Q: Why isn’t the extended cut on Disney+ (or Star+ in LatAm)?
A: Streaming rights vary; theatrical cut is usually licensed. The extended cut appears sporadically on Amazon or Apple.

Q: What does “better” actually improve over the original DVD?
A: The original DVD has slight edge enhancement and some compression artifacts. The “Better” Xvid encode uses a noise reduction prefilter followed by sharpening only on edges – resulting in a cleaner, more film-like look.

Q: Can I burn this to a DVD and play on a standard player?
A: Yes – use ConvertXtoDVD or DVDStyler. But you’ll lose the “better” encode benefits; it will recompress to MPEG-2.

Conclusion

If you meant something else (e.g., a different film called El Patriota from 2009 or 2017), please clarify. Otherwise, enjoy the extended cut – just in better quality.
