Is there a way to log the entire CMD output history (when youtube-dl is executed within Windows) while channels/videos are being archived/downloaded? When I run my script using a BAT file, it will display recent history only up to a point. Is there a way to log the entire run, beginning to end?

Redirect stdout and stderr to file.
