About me

It all started in 1979 with my first games of Pong, then on the VIC-20 in 1982, the Amstrad CPC, the Atari ST... My nickname, Zast, comes from Zastaph, the hero of a cult game on the Atari ST.

I arrived on the web in 1996. In 1998 I launched DVDandDXR2, which would become DVDAlliance then CineAlliance.fr. It was one of the first French websites about cinema and DVD, even before YouTube. The site is still running, more than 26 years later, with a team that has remained independent: cinema, series, festivals, and VOD.

Over time, the team grew and other sites were born. ParadoxeTemporel.fr in 2011 for board games, video games, retrogaming, and tech, MusiqueAlliance.fr in 2014 for music and concerts, VisiteEnFamille.fr in 2016 for travel.

We test, review, and give our opinion without holding back. We also travel to film festivals and music venues to bring back reports, reviews, and interviews.

On my end, I spend my time writing, making YouTube videos, and developing apps around local AI and open source.

1-click video translation and dubbing for Pinokio — 100% local, AI voice cloning, and no API keys required. It transcribes with WhisperX, isolates voice/music tracks with Demucs, translates via LLM (Qwen, EuroLLM), and clones the speaker's voice in 33 languages with VoxCPM 2.

  • Local or YouTube URL video import
  • Precise transcription via WhisperX (word-level timestamps)
  • Background audio separation via Demucs
  • Multi-model translation (Qwen2.5/3.5, EuroLLM)
