Better source as a repack is rare, usually the first 2 are the main reason for this. But it happens sometimes that a group releases a movie, than a different group finds a better source or one with subtitles (which is important sometimes) couple of days later. There is a competition between the groups too.Night457 wrote: Wed May 29, 2024 10:26 pm Thank you szijjarto, that makes sense. With all the rules that Scene releases have to follow, I would think one rule should be "Watch your damn file before you release it!" Then they would catch SOME things like 10 minutes of missing video! I rarely see NFO files, but then I generally only see a Scene release after it has been reshared publicly and stripped of USEFUL information like that!
If a better source was found, isn't that just an entirely new Remux or Encode? Movies can get a dozen or more disc versions over the years and the number of encodes I see from just a single released disc far exceeds that. Or is a Scene release group only "allowed" one version, and they have to call a subsequent version a Repack? Or is it just their own choice what to call it?
If a mistake is happened, placing the repack in the name is a must to differentiate between the files.
