While it is probably bad form to continue one thread in another, I'll do 
it anyway here. :)

Slime, you mentioned some method 3 default settings which you understood 
to be different from the method 1 defaults (but not listed in the docs). 
Those were intervals 1 and (min) samples 5. These values, by the way, 
are explicitly set in many of the media example scenes distributed with POV.

Anyway, I fiddled around with a couple of different settings on the 
example test scene given earlier in the thread. Going by the media 
samples listed in the render stats I get this:

method=3
intervals=default (not explicitly set)
samples=default (not explicitly set)
Media Samples: 2668281

method=3
intervals=10 (default as per the docs)
samples=1 (default as per the docs)
Media Samples: 30730560

method=3
intervals=1
samples=5
Media Samples: 1515497

method=3
intervals=1
samples=10
Media Samples: 2668281

Which leads me to conclude that the method 3 default intervals is 1 and 
samples 10, if the media samples in the render stats are an appropriate 
indicator.
