Description

Example URLs:
https://twitter.com/leo777_j/status/1340318185959133185
https://twitter.com/News_Sense1/status/1340619358440046592
https://twitter.com/IamProvocateur_/status/1340117594938982400

For most URLs, the --trim-file-name flag seems to be helpful and solve the issue of Windows not being able to write the file. Unfortunately, in some rare cases, it still doesn't work. The three links above for example are not happy with --trim-file-name 50 for me, they require going down to 40 or 30. As you can see, the filename it is trying to write is also clearly longer than 50, it's 139 characters, with the video title part being 105 characters.

So I'm thinking there's some kind of inconsistency there.
