# laborde-visio1
This repository tracks the transcription and translation for the video conference by Stéphane Laborde *Pourquoi la monnaie libre n'est justement pas un Ponzi*. This translates to *Why Free Currency Isn't Just a Ponzi (Scheme)*.
The original video and the auto-generated captions in French can be sourced from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRq2197FlMw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRq2197FlMw).
## Setup
Run the following to download auto-generated captions from YouTube to a new file named `autogen-subs.fr.vtt`.
yt-dlp --write-auto-subs --sub-lang=fr --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRq2197FlMw -o autogen-subs
Other video players such as `mpv` might not display YouTube's auto-generated captions properly. The following removes duplicates and resyncs captions.
python scripts/parse-subs.py autogen-subs.fr.vtt
## Notes
The `Makefile` contains some reference for using `yt-dlp` and `ffmpeg` but does not function without downloading the entire video and renaming some files.
## Context
Stéphane Laborde is the author of [The Relative Theory of Money](https://en.trm.creationmonetaire.info/), an economic theory inspired by the free software movement which defines "monnaie libre" as the category of currencies that respects the economic agency and time of its users.
