Thank you ferdi111! The videos at svtplay.se are proving to be a goldmine of material. I am delighted! There are quite a number of TV series from various eras there. Some of them are even playable in other countries without having to use a VPN or proxy server. They are only available for a limited time (the takedown dates are listed) so anyone interested should get them while they are hot!

I have done some comparisons of some of the various versions of the TV series noted in this thread. I can see that clearly the Czech Margyt version has the best image quality. Most episodes are 576p and some are 720p. The Swedish Madicken version at svtplay CLAIMS to be 1080p, but seems to actually be a 1080p encode of a television master videotape! I have my suspicions that when the first TV series was edited down to the Madicken på Junibacken (1980) movie, the uncut Swedish copy of the negative was destroyed, with duplicate negatives only outside the country. It seems quite a shame that the Swedes are still broadcasting a videotape.

Here is a screencap comparison of the various versions, from Episode 1.
Swedish:[Image]German:[Image]
Czech:[Image]

The Swedish is approximately 1.47 aspect ratio after removing the letterboxing and windowboxing, which does not match the original 1.33 broadcast. The German and Czech are both 1.78, which is modern widescreen TV. The German image is cropped from the Swedish at the top and bottom. The Czech is slightly cropped on the top and bottom, but clearly wider on the sides, so it has the most image area as well as the best image quality - so far. Maybe someone has the negative and is working on restoring the TV versions to full 1080p?

Episode 1: Summer day on Junibacken
In Junibacken, the big house down by the river, Madicken and Lisabeth live with Mom and Dad and maid Alva. Mother has a birthday and the family makes their usual excursion to the summer meadow below Karlsson's cow pasture. But the regular excursion has an unusual end.

This used the Czech video, and I blended out the TV logo. I retimed the Swedish audio to match it and muxed it in, replacing the Czech. Then I retimed the machine-translated & manually corrected external English subtitles to match.

I plan to continue this project with the remaining 5 Episodes of Season 1, releasing them one at a time because of my limited bandwidth.

Swedish language Episode 02 in 576p with English subtitles.

Episode 2. Madicken flies and father
Madicken and Lisabet eat sandwiches on the woodshed and Madicken flies with an umbrella.
svtplay gives this the alternate title of
"Madicken flyger med paraply " / "Madicken flies with umbrella"
but I went with the actual title on screen.

Swedish language Episode 03 in 576p with English subtitles.

Episode 3. Mrs. Nilsson gets her body back
Mrs. Nilsson sells her body to Dr. Berglund to pay her debt.
Another point of view:
Spoiler:

Madicken decides that if her soul will be blasted to perdition for GAMBLING, then she may as well top it off by using her ill-gotten gains to buy corpses. :twisted: :shock:
svtplay alternate title is "För att betala sin skuld" / "To pay their debt"
