[REL] Barnens ö AKA Children's Island (1980)

[David32441]

I watched my upscale finally. I made it from the PAL DVD posted on blizzardkid. And this damned DVD has an error at about 01:05:11 and 50 seconds of the movie are missing!

The best (complete) source I found was a DVD-Rip with hardcoded English subtitles.

So, here's the new link (and it even looks better):

For me the audio is clipping/making scractching sounds - but maybe this was fixed also, or it's the source film? I've not seen anyone else comment about this though.

or it's the source film?

Yes, it is. The DVD has very bad sound.

Yes, it is. The DVD has very bad sound.

can't believe a studio would release something with sound that bad!

Ouch, that static. My ear memory says "analog TV bad VHS." Anyone else with old ears but more audio education to verify my impression? Maybe the original film and soundtrack was lost and the best print was from a dubbed source, with a videotape recording having to be used for the Swedish sound?

That's what I'd say too. The DVD wasn't made from the original film footage. I really think, the got the sound from a VHS tape or something.

Only a short, good scene for me not being a boy fan.

ok, so, being in the same boat as you (as it were) now i'm 'officially' curious... which scene

[Night457]

Out of curiosity I went through and downloaded the available options, including 3 from blizzardkid. I already knew that ghost's would have the best video, but I found that it ALSO has better AUDIO than some of the other versions out there. The sound is all compromised, which is a shame because of the great 1970s synth music on the soundtrack! Ah well, if the static gets too much for some scenes I will lower the volume and just pay attention to the subtitles.

Oh yeah, thank you very much ghost!

A.I. upscale to 1080p using Starlight Mini. Original Swedish audio with English subtitles. (I struggled to sync ghost's cleaned-up audio with the video).

WOW! I'm really curious about how this movie looks after using Starlight. Thank you.

Spoiler: Did I really clean up the audio?
