The Shake Optical Flow retiming works up to a point, but can leave  
some horrendous artifacts. Phase Correlation conversion is the  
answer, and you're going to want to find someone with an Alchemist HD  
for that kind of processing. Of course, I don't work for S&W, but  
they hardly need my endorsement anyway.

Of course, speeding up will produce the best results.
