I was amazed to come in here and see that the bitrate readings where high. How did this happen? It's disappointing and it distracted me through the whole movie.

I have the same disc. Saw these artifacts when Hunt is escaping the Kremlin in the underground tunnels. Saw the artifacts where the dad of that Russian family was watching tv. Saw a bunch when Ethan was talking to the arms dealer. The list goes on.

Good. I feel like I'm going crazy. Such a high profile release. It just boggles my mind that I was seeing these artifacts throughout.

BTW, I don't believe I have my black levels set too high either.

Question about the ending:

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
What exactly is Ethan's status with his wife? Their longing looks (and some dialogue I think I missed just before between Cruise and Renner) make me think it's a Spiderman-y thing where he has to give her up to protect her, but God I hope there's more to it than that. And was the whole Serbian death plot a cover story so that everyone would think she's dead--and therefore protected?

Just finished watching the movie for the 2nd time and did not see the artifacts mentioned either time on my standard release blu-ray version when played on the oppo 93. If they are there, it may be that my eyesight just isn't as good as it should be.

I hope my eye sights not failing me. I plan on watching again soon and I will try to pay closer attention to these areas.

I have the BB version and I don't see any compression artifacts. I am using the Slim PS3.
I went back to the parts where the artifacts are mentioned and I don't see anything.

Yes. I have the 3-disk Best Buy edition. Seeing tons of artifacts in dark areas.

My system consists of a Panasonic AX200u on a 100" 16:9 screen. I sit ~9ft away.

I do not recall any serious artifacts, closest thing were a few shots with raised black levels perhaps due to improper exposures or pushing incorrect speeds of film.

Perhaps I'll give it another look sometime in the evening.

I have the BB 3 disc set.

Just to be a bit more specific...

Thankfully my copy does not suffer the fate of low bitrate type compression artifacts such as what you'd see during high motion, aggressive shots. When things get fast and heavy, the picture is very good. Any time there is a significant brightness (daytime) the picture is nothing short of reference. However, during indoor or night sequences, in the darkest areas I see this blocking. It's quite severe. If it was only minimal or in a couple of shots, I would have never said a thing. It was, in fact, very consistent and that's what bugged me. I almost never complain about video related things on my BR's (I think Dark City looks well enough, save for the EE ) but this was annoying as all hell. During these darker moments, this may as well been a torrent download.

The sound mix was very good though!

Just rented this from Redbox. Picture quality didn't stand out as being all that amazing, but the audio is easily a whole tier above the video, IMO.

Is it just me or did nearly every scene of Cruise running toward the camera look like he was running on a treadmill in front of a green screen?

Overall, I was very happy to see two movies over the weekend that had widely-shot, well-choreographed action scenes without shaky cam:

MI4
Immortals

We watched on Directv PPV. A/V was superb. Cruise, yes I did notice that he was running in near perfect form with little deviation.

I have an AE7000 480hz 3D PJ, and an 8' high gain screen. I didn't notice anything wrong, but I wasn't looking for it either.

I'll have to revisit the BD, and see if there are artifacts on mine too. It seems some disks have them, and some don't.

I loved it. I got it from Amazon for some peanuts after applying a credit I had.

In the light of MI4 release and having a Friday off I watched all 4 MI movies. Starting Thursday evening and finishing Sunday afternoon. One movie a day. It's a shame that MI1-3 only have dd5.1, but MI4 audio more than made up for it, it blew me the f#$k away, I had plastered on my face throughout the whole freaking thing. The picture was also stunning and action sequences were quite impressive as well. One thing I just didn't like much about MI4 were opening credits, I know what they did there but it's a movie not a TV series (I know it's based on a TV series).

In short, my weekend was very entertaining.

+1. The frequent macro-blocking didn't bother me as much as the posterization (banding) I saw in a couple scenes. I was just really surprised to see this happening at all given it's an easy thing to avoid if the encoder knows what he's doing. It's just sloppy work. I thought I was watching DirecTV.

ok, that is exactly what i saw. some scenes look bd great, but others show compression and artifacts. i swear there must be different releases for this flick as so many are saying reference which is not what we saw.

morpheo also confirmed different bitrates on the 2 and 3 disk sets.

switched over to nf for free 1 month and have rented this flick first to see if i notice any difference from my redbox rental.

Reading the posts in this thread gives me the impression that there may be different versions of MI4 available for purchase at different stores. I'm going to pick up a copy of the movie sometime this week, so I wanted to check in with you all to see if it is really true (or just my imagination) that different versions of the movie exist for purchase. For example, the posting above from Mr. Wally gives me the impression that the movie may exist in different bit rates. I obviously want to get the copy with the highest quality, so I'm hoping that someone will give me some pointers so that I can get the best version of the movie that is available for purchase. It does not matter whether I get the movie from Best Buy, Costco, Amazon dot com, etc.

I had accidentally posted a similar question in the thread following the review of the movie by Ralph Potts, but I think that this forum is probably the best place to ask the question.

Thanks for your help.

Supposedly the Best Buy exclusive copy (which apparently nearly everyone here bought) is the higher bitrate version. Only a few of us seem to notice this artifacting. The simple point being that I of all people noticed it and complaining about it must mean it's pretty bad so now I'm wondering if there are different disks out there. My is definitely the BB edition cuz it's bare bones but came with the 2nd disk with extras. I heard the 2-disk version had some features on the disk with the movie. Mine is not like that.

The rental version has a main M2TS file size of 38.2 GB, not sure what the retail versions are. The total disc volume on the rental is 39GB. That probably tells you more than random running bit rate reports, since different versions might have different audio tracks muxed into the stream.

So what's the M2TS file size on the retail versions?

The second disc in the 2-disc is the dvd of the film only. So yes the extra stuff is on disc 1. BB exclusive has the film on disc 1 and *all* the extras on disc 2, + the movie only dvd on disc 3.

Sounds like the rental is the same as the Best Buy 3-disc feature copy. Disc size is 39.00GiB and M2TS is 38.26GiB according to McCrutchy's scan.

From the specs thread. It's a sticky on this subforum; check it out sometime.

US 3-disc Best Buy exclusive.

Watched it on a 106" screen from 12/13 ft. BB standard version. Looked great. No noticeable artifacts. TrueHD rocked the house!

My is definitely the BB edition cuz it's bare bones but came with the 2nd disk with extras. I heard the 2-disk version had some features on the disk with the movie. Mine is not like that.

Thanks Scott.

I wonder if anyone on this board who bought the movie from Amazon or Costco can check the file size and post their results on this board.

Is it unusual for different versions of the the disc containing the actual movie to be available from different sellers? I have always been under the impression that sometimes stores have special 2 or 3 disc sets where the difference was in the amount of extras and not in the movie itself. Maybe I've been wrong all along!

Agreed. I'm very curious now myself as I'm waiting on delivery from Amazon tomorrow.
