Lightroom is capable to convert JPGs into DNG. The DNG Converter unfortunately currently is not. Please add JPG support to the Adobe DNG Converter. Thank you very much for considering!

Read my post above. A jpeg inside a DNG is still a jpeg. It makes absolutely zero sense.

If you need jpeg, save jpeg.

DNG is for raw files.

Again, as I said above: wrapping a jpeg inside a DNG container is a monumentally bad idea for many reasons. First of all, it's still a jpeg, with all the shortcomings of the jpeg format. The DNG container changes nothing.

More urgently, it's a false flag. A DNG is universally supposed to contain raw sensor data from a camera, not an already-destructively-processed jpeg. If jpeg is what you need, save as jpeg.
