I was expecting it to redirect to stdout, since help says so(" Use - to output to stdout"). It looked like it worked well in previous versions.

Works fine for me. Can you post the output you get when you add -v to your command?

You have a file literally named - in your current directory. Either delete the file or update to youtube-dl 2014.17.12.2 or newer, which corrects the check.
