The scene releases are usually the highest quality possible released in exclusively closed private trackers - sometimes only paid accounts are accepted as a member (if at all). Everything else probably 95% you see in the wild are transcoded to lower bitrate and stripped out of all the extra files in the container (sub/multiple audio stream/highbitrate audio) to smalled files - because thats what most people want: Small Video easily playable on a regular screen.
