What does "SE" stand for when it comes to DVD movies?

I was looking for a newsfeed to use in order to keep track of DVD releases, and as I was looking through JoBlo, I noticed two distinct entries under January 20th ( http://www.joblo.com/dvdclinic/release_dates.php?month=January&year=2009 ):

I clicked on the Amazon links for both movies and I can't figure out what the SE is supposed to mean. One of the movies has Amazon saying it's PG-13 while the other is unrated, but the displayed box art for both says "Unrated" on it.

Please only answer if you are at least fairly certain. No guesses, please--I've done enough of that on my own.

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

SE = Special Edition

These versions are often the unrated cuts with extra scenes and features not found on the standard version.

Here is an example of a DVD listed as "SE" with the correct box art showing at the top the "Special Edition" http://www.overstock.com/Books-Movies-Music-Games/Halloween-Theatrical-Version-SE-DVD/2899097/product.html?cid=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=11070533

SE is the special edition.

SE is sometimes standard edition, but this movie only came in widescreen. Standard edition is only being pushed by dreamworks it seems.

I am fairly sure it means Standard Edition. Which basically means it's the plain DVD, not the special two disc sets or "Platinum editions", etc, etc.
When I say fairly I mean about 80-90% sure :-)
