No.  That's supposed to happen automatically.

It decides based on the encapsulation type of the input file, e.g. if  
the input file has an encapsulation type of WTAP_ENCAP_ETHERNET (as,  
for example, a libpcap file with DLT_EN10MB would have), Wireshark  
would open the output file with that encapsulation type, which the  
libpcap-writing code would map to DLT_EN10MB.
