For example for `-o %(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s` and mp4 video with title `youtube-dl test video` and id `BaW_jenozKcj` this will result in a `youtube-dl test video-BaW_jenozKcj.mp4` file created in the current directory.
Output template can also contain arbitrary hierarchical path, e.g. `-o %(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s` that will result in downloading each video in a directory corresponding to this path template. Any missing directory will be automatically created for you.
Output template can also contain arbitrary hierarchical path, e.g. `-o '%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s'` that will result in downloading each video in a directory corresponding to this path template. Any missing directory will be automatically created for you.
To specify percent literal in output template use `%%`. To output to stdout use `-o -`.

In some cases, you don't want special characters such as 中, spaces, or &, such as when transferring the downloaded filename to a Windows system or the filename through an 8bit-unsafe channel. In these cases, add the `--restrict-filenames` flag to get a shorter title:
Examples:
Examples (note on Windows you may need to use double quotes instead of single)::
```bash
$ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc
$ youtube-dl --get-filename -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' BaW_jenozKc
youtube-dl test video ''_ä↭𝕐.mp4 # All kinds of weird characters
