I converted my Olympus-TG6-Raw-Files to DNG using DxO Pure RAW. The original ORF-RAW-Files work fine in LRTimelapse Pro 5.6.3, but the DNG-Files don't work at all.
Can I only use DNG-Files converted by Lightroom?

Or is there something strange with the DNG-Files produced by DXO Pure RAW? Does anyone have any idea? Does anyone use DxO Pure RAW for timelapse-sequences?

Thankyou for help!

Code:

I got a lot of errors and warnings in the Logfile:

Please note that you cannot do any edits before feeding the Raw files to LRTimelapse/Lightroom. If you are using that DxO Software to do some editing before, it won't be creating Raw-DNGs instead those probably would be some edited tiff files wrapped into DNG which wouldn't make sense for the workflow.

Please use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert (if you really need to).
My recommendation would be just use the native Raw files with LRTimelapse and not convert to DNG at all.

Thankyou for the information!
Yes, DxO does a lot of automated edits and enhancements to the Raw-files, especially noise reduction, thats the reason, why I tried to use it for my timelapse-sequences as well. But the output is probably no Raw-dng.
So I will use the native Raw as before.
