Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When using youtube-dl to save a video attached to a tweet, the body of the tweet is used as the filename -- however, this can produce invalid filenames, at least on Windows. Using -o myfilename.mp4 is enough to work around this, but it would be nice if that weren't necessary :)

Note that this problem doesn't occur with very very small videos—the bug only happens when it tries to create .part files, not the actual video files themselves.

In short:
youtube-dl.exe https://twitter.com/RavenTest/status/1053357651101470729 WORKS
(short video on long tweet)

youtube-dl.exe https://twitter.com/RavenTest/status/1053359277916721154 WORKS
(long video on short tweet)

youtube-dl.exe https://twitter.com/RavenTest/status/1053354601607561217 does NOT work
(long video on long tweet with default filename)

youtube-dl.exe -o test.mp4 https://twitter.com/RavenTest/status/1053354601607561217 WORKS
(long video on long tweet with manual filename)
