Pre-rendered scenes are almost like videos already prepared and put straight on your game disc. You could almost say that for the time you're watching the pre-rendered scene, your console is just a DVD player. But an in-game or in-engine render is one done on the fly by the CPU and GPU, and generally won't look as good, or take up as much space on the disc.
