The V2 nearly finalized (just have to give it one more editing pass) and I'll be able to start rendering files for the DVD and AVI releases very soon - with both the new scenes from the Extended cut that I'm added back in along with several additional cuts and edits that I've made to the fanedit, the V2 cut now currently runs over 9 minutes longer than my previous version.

I was able to add the "Pandora Rules" and "Breakfast With The Scientists" deleted scenes back into the film and created/rebuilt new 5.1 audio mixes for those scenes (since they were previously in 2.0 stereo); the audio mixes turned out rather well, I think, and the new scenes add more much character to Jake, Quaritch, and the scientists.
(because those two scenes were added, I have also added a 2.35:1 scope matte to the movie, so that all scenes AR match each other)

Additionally, I decided to not include the "Extended Montage With Grace's Story" scene in the fanedit: while I liked how this subplot of Grace's school adds more to her character and history, my main problem with it is how it introduces Neytiri's sister.... aside from this and one other minor scene, NO other character (not Neytiri, not Moat, not Tsu-tey..) ever mentions this character's existence in the story, so it feels like this plot element is appearing out of thin air and never has any future impact to the story.
