Thank you for the report. This has been fixed in youtube-dl 2014.01.05.4. Type youtube-dl -U to update.

Tested the latest version 2014.11.09 and it's happening as well.

In example:

$ youtube-dl --write-info-json "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEWkIAFPa3g"
  File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/utils.py", line 78, in write_json_file
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 42: ordinal not in range(128)
