For those of you that have a Mac, and shoot in Raw, here is an Automator script that will convert your RAW format to DNG for you. Complete Digital Photography has all the information on how to do it and links to download the script.

Complete Digital Photography » Convert Raw to DNG Automator Action

Adobe’s Digital Negative Specification, or DNG format, provides an open standard for the storage of raw camera data. However, since few cameras can store directly into Digital Negative format, if you want to take advantage of DNG, you first need to convert your existing raw files to DNG format using the Adobe DNG Converter. Mac users running OS X 10.4 (“Tiger”) or later can ease their conversion tasks using this Automator action, which lets you batch process your DNG conversions, as well as include DNG conversion in a more complex image processing pipeline. This updated version adds Leopard support as well as the ability to convert Sony SR2 files.
