youtube-dl outtmpl character substitutions #6

youtube-dl saves files with custom character substitutions such as replacing double quotes with single quotes and forwards slashes with spaces. This is meant to keep system paths safe, however it becomes somewhat of an issue when trying to manage temporary download storage and conversion. Currently, it is causing failed ffmpeg conversions with certain titled videos causing the passed system path to the downloaded video to not exist.

Hacky fix applied in 1cb49dda13372874319b846ce496c9fb5f2c763e by defining custom modelspace to perform all necessary file modifications.
