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.
