Beyound-HD News - New Dupe Release Rules

Effective 15th January 2018 no dupes will be accepted for Movie/TV remuxes and Bluray/UHD discs.

A dupe is a torrent that is a duplicate of another torrent that already exists on the site.

What is a duplicate?
- A release with exact same tech specs: same bitrate for audio and video, same languages for subtitles
- A source disc with identical tracks (audio/video/subtitles) Identical discs are often released at the same time from groups like CHDBits, MTteam, HDChina. Only one release will be accepted on site.

What is not a duplicate?
- A release created from a different, higher quality source(s). The Uploader may be asked to provide screen shot proof in some cases, so be prepared.
- A release with different run times , e.g. Extended and Director Cuts
- A release by an internal release group e.g. FraMeSToR. Internal releases will not immediately trump existing releases, both releases will remain on site at this time.
- A hybrid release combining the best video and audio from different sources.
- A disc from another region will normally not be considered a duplicate.

These rules are being introduced to increase long term retention of releases and remove redundant releases from our catalog.

We understand that these changes will impact some Uploaders more than others; we have contacted some of you already; but please work with us and discuss options with us.

It will be the Uploaders responsibility to check if a release is a duplicate. A release with no seeders can be trumped.

NOTE: Whilst we will not be addressing encodes immediately, our medium term goal will be to move to similar trump rules for encodes.

DIY Full Discs
DIY discs. Any altered disc is not allowed on site even if it's as simple as DIY subtitles, custom menus, etc. If the integrity of the original disc has been altered in anyway, it will not be allowed at BHD. So original retail source discs only please.
