downloading videos to a specific path with youtube-dl

Question

I cant seem to find a way to download videos with youtube-dl to a specific path, I have tried -o but it just does something and says that it downloaded to that path but there are no videos there.

Use -o, but don't forget to include an actual template, as documented:

youtube-dl -o '/target/directory/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s' BaW_jenozKc
