Try this...
megapov A_file_of_your_choice.pov +fh

Do you get this message too?
Unrecognized output file format h.

The HDR file is fine... And I think it's a great feature :)
It's just the message that might cause some confusion.

Greetings :)

If this is supposed to be a bug report it misses *all* important 
information.  This includes at least:

- MegaPOV version and platform
- complete text messages POV-Ray prints out.

MegaPOV 1.1 - Linux version.

Output:
Unrecognized output file format h.
Followed by the usual output.

Is this enough, or do you need the _real_ output?

You you are interested in a comment on the matter that would be quite a 
good idea.

Here we go :)
One additional information:
At the moment I'm using a local install of MegaPOV 1.1.

megapov Blanko.pov +fh gives me this output:

Ah, right at the beginning.  Note that isn't the usual place where this 
message occurs when you use a format really not supported.  Will be 
fixed in next version (although it's damn inconvenient in case the other 
Thorsten is listening... ;-))
