  Trying to be lazy in Windows

I am getting really tired of re-learning how to use ffmpeg every time I 
want to make an animation.

Since I'm using Windows, I can't use a Post_Scene_Command, so I thought 
I could use Python.

I wrote a simple script that uses Python's subprocess.run() function to 
render the animation, then I want to use it again to run ffmpeg and 
finally a third time for ffplay.

Unfortunately POV-Ray pops up, renders, and doesn't quit. I can't seem 
to find a command line option to close POV-Ray once the rendering is 
finished. Only after I close POV-Ray does the script continue.

Is this possible on Windows or am I wasting my time?
