Why do you think the problem is related to Unicode? This seems to be a duplicate of #3232 (fixed in youtube-dl 2014.07.11).

is permissions problem, try it again with sudo

[phihag]

@kerosine9 Why do you think this is a permission problem, and why should sudo help? Notice that sudo has no effect (as far as I'm aware) on Windows, and it's not installed by default (or in fact, rarely is it ever) on that platform.
