Version

• WIP release 2.5-1d151d21

Build

• .NET Framework 4.8 running on Win 11 22H2

Describe the issue
A disc title can have the char ™, which isn't trimmed in MPF, causing errors in DIC.

This is what you see in MPF, the ™ is in the Output Path, but not visible.

To Reproduce

1. Insert PS3 disc "UEFA Euro 2008™"
2. Start MPF
3. Press "Start Dumping"

Expected behavior
Since ™ is not allowed anyway, remove it (and any other special chars) from that Output Path altogether.

Additional context
A workaround is to simply rewrite the Output Path yourself if you encounter this error.

This is an issue with DIC and not with MPF. Those characters are not prohibited in file paths so if there are issues, then they stem directly from lack of handling for anything but extended ASCII in DIC. Please open an issue on DIC here: https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator/issues
