A question (since I may have been doing some things incorrectly up until
now): Is samples 15 the same as specifying samples(15,15)? In the POV docs,
there's no mention of using just a single value for it, so I'm curious.

Also, the docs led me to believe that, with method 3, I needed to actually
specify intervals 1 rather than leave it out altogether.  Is there a
difference?

BTW, awhile back I posted a little discussion about the default for
intervals being 1, not 10 as the docs say (in ver. 3.6.1) Here's the
post...

This led me to think that there *might* be some other incorrectly-stated
default values for media, but I've not been able to determine that.  Can
anyone out there give a definitive listing of the various media defaults?
