Your image is 977x1526.
POV-Ray will import this and map it to a 1-POV-unit square.
So what you need to do is scale that texture to resize back to the right aspect
ratio.   (Just like jr said)

If you name all of your files in sequential numerical order, you can use the
animation feature, and use the frame number or the clock value to choose the
right file.  Just concatenate everything into a string and use that for the
filename.
