Okay, thanks for all the tips. I think the include file would be the
easiest. Maybe a default background parameter could be added at some point
in the future.
In the meantime, Tom's explanation explains what video legal means, and the
reason I don't want to put it in every scene is because I already have many
dozens of files for which I need a legal black background and was looking
for some type of default option. I plan to rerender those but was hoping not
to have to edit all of them. I'll just put it in the povray.ini file (good
tip!)
Thanks again,
D.
