What does “INTERNAL” mean?
“INTERNAL” is a scene tag. It is applied to a release for several reasons. An INTERNAL release is not allowed to be posted outside the groups affiliated sites, without the prior permission of that site’s operators.
Classic DVD groups do a lot of INTERNAL releases, as they wont be dupe’d on it. Also lower quality theater rips are done INTERNAL so as not to lower the reputation of the group, or due to the amount of rips done already. Some INTERNAL releases still trickle down to IRC/Newsgroups/Torrent Sites, it usually depends on the title and the popularity.
When a release group is said to go “internal”, it means the group are only releasing the movies to their members and site ops. This is in a different context to the usual definition.
Torrent sites or other communities may create “Internal” collections of files, or non-scene releases, such as unusual requests by users. These sites may also create “packs” of scene releases, such as several films from a series, and release it as “internal”.
Thank you. And I don’t see in the scenerelease.nfo how it is supposed to be used correctly. I’ve seen it used in different parts of the name.
tvshow.s01e01.iNTENAL.720p.HDTV.x264.mkv
and
tvshow.s02e01.720p.HDTV.iNTERNAL.x264.mkv
as well as completely by
tvshow.s03e01.720p.HDTV.x264.iNTERNAL-
I’m sure there must be rule about this… anybody know please,?

Yeah, it does seem that there’s no standard way of ordering tags in scene releases..
I can’t see anything in the Scene Rules about it, anyway.
With tags like INTERNAL and LIMITED and stuff, there seems to be no pattern, as you’ve shown. However, i guess it’s unspoken convention to use the 720p.BluRay.x264 combination, in that order, because that’s how I always see it.
Would be interested to know if anyone can find this mentioned in the rules for a scene other than highdefinition…
