For what this is worth, I was thinking abou this problem a couple of years
ago. The only solution I could come up with was to use an optical printer
(usually used for special effects) that I saw in CINEMAGIC and litteraly
reshoot the entire original roll.

At the time, I wanted to do it to combine several standard 50 ft rolls onto
a 400 ft roll in a magazine that had recently come out, but I dropped when
the company manufracturing the device and arranging services folded.
