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!
Adobe ... millions of us have happily supported your Adobe products for years. Please continue to allow us to expand and create our visions by enabling JPG conversions with your DNG Converter software. We're growing with you, so please grow with us.
Please implement this adobe. Sure raws are great but I've got lots of timelapses I am doing with gopro(due to space contraints) and really this would make a huge difference to me. Surely I'm not the only one and it appears from Gunthers comments, it appears not too big a step to take in development.
Please adobe - you've got my subscription now listen to the community. Otherwise what are we paying for
With Bridge and ACR you can batch convert JPG to DNG. Select the JPG's in Bridge, select open in Camera RAW, then select Save Image select DNG as he Format and hit save. Not quite as productive as using the DNG converter but close. Maybe this helps the Time Lapse folks?
Robert, this is for the worldwide renown LRTimelapse workflow many pro's work with including NASA for ISS footage and some hollywood studios. Thank you.
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.
Let me explain again. For our time lapse purposes, it doesn't help that Lightroom can wrap jpgs into DNGs. ACR doesn't help either. Our request is that we need this same feature in the Adobe DNG Converter in order to be able to use its batch functionalities. TIFF and JPG support for the DNG converter would be really, really useful. It would allow us to use JPG and TIFF sequences exactly the same way as RAW files, when working on time lapse sequences with LRTimelapse. For the user the conversion to DNG would happen totally transparent in background. @adriana It would be really helpful, if you could find a way to put this on the agenda. I'm here to talk about further details at any time. Thank you in advance. You or someone from your team can reach me via info(at)lrtimelapse(dot)com too to discuss this.
You say "batch functionalities" but to you is the important thing that you want to automate DNG Converter? Because batches can be output by ACR and LR, and LR exports/imports can be scripted as you know.
