The videos I am planning to download have a description in the following format:

VID_20200517_171613 Something Something.mp4

2020-06-28 13:53:42

Their titles are like Something Something.

I would like to download the video as VID_20200517_171613 Something Something.mp4. Is there any way to do it?

Or, VID_20200517_171613 Something Something.mp4 is equal to original filename. Is there any way to get it from YouTube?
Probably, I can save description to json (--write-info-json) and rename the file once it is downloaded?

@dstftw Surely I did it. I see no way to use the description field in the output. Do I miss something?
