P: DNG Converter: Enable JPG conversion

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!

Adriana, the problem is to turn jpegs into DNG. Not the other way round...

You can open your DNG files in the ACR plug-in and/or Lightroom and convert the files to JPEG or other formats.

I don't claim to be an expert in this area. But if you want to convert from raw to JPEG  immediately without any postprocessing, why not just shoot JPEG in the first place?
That request is precisely because we don't want to convert from raw to jpeg immediately without any processing. It's because we have different workflow reasons to batch process jpegs to DNG for ulterior processing. I suggest that you read the first posts for examples.

I support Gunther's request. It is a workflow issue, not an issue of inherent image quality or the availability of other tools.

No, this won't do it, since I need the possibility to trigger the conversion via DNG Converter in bakground by LRTimelapse.
