Hi,

I was trying to download and convert the video at this URL here (hXXps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9o7ILCPSFU) with the following command:

youtube-dl.exe --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 hXXps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9o7ILCPSFU

It kept failing with the following error:

[youtube] Y9o7ILCPSFU: Downloading webpage
[youtube] Y9o7ILCPSFU: Extracting video information
[youtube] Y9o7ILCPSFU: Downloading DASH manifest
[download] Destination: Trentemøller - Miss You (Mahmut Orhan Remix)-Y9o7ILCPSFU

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf8 in position 0: ordinal

Not an expert with this stuff, but my guess is it fails due to the "ø" character in the title. I don't know if it's intended or a bug but just thought giving you guys a heads up. I guess it affects also videos with other special characters in title.

Cheers!

[ffmpeg] Correctly encode paths on Windows
b0e87c3 
On Python 2.x on Windows, if there are any unicode arguments in the command argument list, the whole list is converted to unicode internally.
Therefore, we need to call encodeArgument on every argument.

Fixes #4337 and #4668.
