Hello,

I was running the youtube-dl to download some videos, and a few of them contained a special character (mainly the colon) that cannot be used in windows filenames.
The other special characters are: \ / * ? " < > |

I was using the output template "%(uploader)s-%(title)s.$(ext)s".

Python version: Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

Peter.

Can you give me an example of one of those videos that is giving you problems? Thanks.
