Hey there,

I think it would be a great idea to have the ability to save the video and audio in a different path when using --keep-video and --extract-audio.

I know the video gets deleted and you added the --keep-video option which is awesome. But wouldn't it be great to be able to add a path after like: --keep-video "../videos"

What do you think?

Cheers!

Actually, --keep-video is not performing an extra option, it makes youtube-dl just not delete the video file. Since the proposed format is ambiguous (and that's a killer argument), would an option --audio-directory "../audios" work too?

Yes that would be good too. Either way I just thought having the ability to separate the videos from the audio would be a nice idea. =)
