I don't know that "ark" you're mentioning; do you mean arc? arj? ar? 
 From what I know, each of these three is specialized on one special 
type of compressed file respectively, none of which is the bzip2 format.

The traditional official way to extract the contents should be:

     bunzip2 povray-3.7.0.RC3.tar.bz2
     tar -xf povray-3.7.0.RC3.tar

The following single command should also do the job:

     tar -xjf povray-3.7.0.RC3.tar.bz2
