Companies that do VFX for lots of artsy/indie features? (outside the US)

Stabilizing old video

Hey guys, need some help. I have an old b&w video, something like 20's-30's. The camera is motionless, however the footage is damn shaky, it is changing the position for several pixels every frame, lots of artifacts and tons of grain. I tried tracking in Nuke, AE CS5.5, Mocha, even Boujou. No...

Portable software

Is there a way to create portable versions of AE CS4, Fusion or Nuke, so that they could be executed from a usb flashdrive without installing? I don't need using extra plug-ins, just the basic stuff. Thanks.
