I was under the impression that the .raw format had been discontinued -

5.2.2.3.1  Output File Type

Note that the obsolete +FD dump format and +FR raw format have been
dropped from POV-Ray 3.0 because they were rarely used and no longer
necessary. PPM, PNG, and system specific formats have been added.
PPM format images are uncompressed, and have a simple text header,
which makes it a widely portable image format. PNG is a new image
format designed not only to replace GIF, but to improve on its shortcomings.
PNG offers the highest compression available without loss for high quality
applications, such as ray-tracing. The system specific format depends on
the platform used and is covered in the appropriate system specific
documentation.
