I was annoyed to find that the Mac programs that displayed RAW/DNG would not display these converted DNGs. Since DNG is allegedly a standard, I found this to be kind of puzzling, especially because these programs would display the Lumix RAW. Then someone said that having LR convert to and store DNG was just a waste of time, and that I should just have it COPY to my negative file. It always converts to DNG or some compressed equivalent on the fly when importing. That should solve your massive file program, assuming the the RAW is smaller than this weirdly converted DNG.
