Cannot get GDI to CHD converter to work

I cannot get above converter to work. I unzip, open "Dreamcast GDI to CHD" app, point source folder to folder containing all .bin and .gdi files for a single game, specify CHD destination folder, click Convert, and then get a "Batch operations complete!" message. However, a CHD file is never created. Have tried on Windows 7 and 8. What am I doing wrong?

hmm you might need to launch as Admin...or maybe you removed short file name support from windows.

Maybe I'll sit down and update the script...if I don't already have an updated version laying around here...it's been a while since I wrote it.

** Update **
Yeah even I ran into issues with it.

I've updated the script massively...cleaned up the original...got it down to about half the lines of code...and working better...then threw that out the window and decided to have some fun...so went from around 100 lines to 600. (Original was about 200 lines) Anyways lots more features...that you probably don't want or need...and more prone to breakage.

hmm can't share the link to the update...oh well...I'll put it up else were and maybe you'll stumble upon it.
