How do I change the render ratio to 2:1?

I'll answer. It's just the output resolution coupled with camera right/up,
so:
+w200 +h100 in the command line, or Width=200 Height=100 in the INI file,
for example. Then:
camera {
location Wherever
right x up y/2 // 1:0.5 = 2:1
look_at Somewhere
}

Hmm...
Are MegaPOV and its spherical camera compatible with Jaime Vives Piqueres'
stacked clouds macro? It give me an error when I try to render.
Normal POV works fine, except I have to use the fisheye camera. The problem
with that is it doesn't give me a complete hemisphere. The edge of the
circle cuts off before it gets to the horizon.

Here's the error message (the scene renders fine in plain POV):

's' is reserved in MegaPOV. Try changing that to S instead, and the small
letter 'r' is too so watch out with that one as well. The trouble is that
color-coded syntax in the CodeMax editor doesn't show those as being
anything, but try and type a t, u, or v and you'll see that those are just
like x,y,z.
Asking at povray.unofficial.patches newsgroup might be the better place to
ask about MegaPOV since people gravitate to there when it concerns that
"custom" version.

With a spherical camera, the image comes out as a box with rounded corners,
not a perfect circle. The corners get distorted when I map the image onto a
sky dome in Max. Is there any way to fix this?

You should try asking at the povray.unofficial.patches group since that's
where this is going with the MegaPOV custom version. Not as many people who
might be able to answer are likely to see it here as there I believe. Plus
you need to encounter a 3D Max user like yourself as well and that again is
possibly more likely there.

Now that the error's been pointed out, consider preventing it from
happening again. The docs advise that reserved keywords will always
be all lower case; hence putting at least one capital letter into
a label name will prevent all future collisions.
