<p id="copyright">Copyright &copy; 2006-2007 Ricardo Garcia Gonzalez</p> <h2>Output template</h2>
<p>The -o option allows users to indicate a template for the output file names.
The basic usage is not to set any template arguments when downloading a single
file, like in <em>youtube-dl -o funny_video.flv 'http://some/video'</em>.
However, it may contain special sequences that will be replaced when
downloading each video. The special sequences have the format
<strong>%(NAME)s</strong>. To clarify, that's a percent symbol followed by a
name in parenthesis, followed by a lowercase S. Allowed names are:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>id</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the video identifier.</li>
<li><em>url</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the video URL.</li>
<li><em>uploader</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the nickname of the
person who uploaded the video.</li>
<li><em>title</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the literal video
title.</li>
<li><em>stitle</em>: The sequence will be replaced by a simplified video
title.</li>
<li><em>ext</em>: The sequence will be replaced by the appropriate
extension.</li>
</ul>
<p>As you may have guessed, the default template is <em>%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>.
When some command line options are used, it's replaced by other templates like
<em>%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>. You can specify your own.</p>
