You can specify the image format inside of an ini file using a switch so that
you don't have to specify it each time on the command line. For example I use
the switch for .tga output as my default. To do this I went to the tools
menu and selected the option to "edit master povray.ini" and added the following
line to the end of the .ini file - Output_File_Type = t . Save the file,
close out of POV-Ray, then restart before the option will take effect.

For other file formats look up the proper switch to use in the docs.
