On a website (1) I found the idea that a TIF file can be converted to a DNG file just by adding some tags and renaming it. Let's test it. Make a 16-bit TIF file:

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i nullsrc=s=320x320,format=yuv444p10le -vf geq=lum='X/W*32+32*floor(Y/H*32)':cr=512:cb=512,format=rgb48be -frames 1 -y test16.tif

Add some tags:

exiftool -DNGVersion="1.4.0.0" -PhotometricInterpretation="Linear Raw" test16.tif

Rename the file to DNG:

copy test16.tif test16.dng

The DNG file can be opened with FFmpeg without any problems. But all other programs complain that the file is corrupt. I tested with IrfanView, FastStone, Gimp and Fitswork.
What else might be required to make it a valid DNG file?
