**I am using winddows version of youtube-dl
It seems to work fine on music videos.

Full-length movies however have errors.

1. Output template must contain ext.
2. Windows does not support single quotes.

[BarbiBimbo]

I did not have an output template. The docs do not say it is necessary. Can you please type what the corrected command should be instead of just closing the ticket with no info?

[dstftw]

youtube-dl --write-info-json -f bestvideo+bestaudio -v -o 'output' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-16vKFCmylc
-o 'output'

The command is bare URL. Don't touch options if you have no idea of what you're doing.
