After searching around online, it seems REPACK (for TV Shows and Movies) means something different when used by Scene groups vs P2P groups.

From what I’ve gathered:

  • Scene REPACK means something was wrong with the original (non-REPACK) upload. The original Scene release group then releases a fixed version and labels it as a REPACK.

All I’ve been able to find on P2P REPACK’s is that it means something different than it does for Scene. Does anyone have any additional context on what REPACK means when used on P2P releases of TV Shows/Movies?

    Usually rippers adds notes in the description on why the files are repacked.

    example you downloaded a movie and it only has forced subtitle. Adding a new full subtitle and that will label as a repack.
