DNG converter says "There was an error parsing the file" when attempting to convert SRW images from some Samsung models after metadata has been edited with ExifTool. Here are 3 sample images with this problem:

http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungNX2000.srw
http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungNX300.srw
http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungNX30.srw

Also, the following image is not recognized by the converter after a similar edit with ExifTool:

http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungEK-GN120.srw

Thanks for your response. Here are the original files:

http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungNX2000_orig.srw
http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungNX300_orig.srw
http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungNX30_orig.srw
http://130.15.24.88/~phil/tmp/SamsungEK-GN120_orig.srw

And the ExifTool command was:

exiftool -artist=Phil FILE

where FILE is any of the original files.

These particular raw files also don't work in Lightroom or the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop.

That ExifTool can be told to do things to a raw file that make it unrecognizable to Adobe products isn't necessarily a bug in either set of programs.

For diagnostic purposes, it would be useful to have a pre-ExifTool version of the same raw files, as well as the ExifTool command line that was used to edit the raw files' metadata, so the situation can be replicated by others.
