Well, to begin with, you're using the wrong option.  You apparently want
-10 not -11.  The latter doesn't consider the aspect ratio at all.

I see, so your real problem is that MPlayer isn't picking up the proper
aspect info from your DV files.  You may want to upload a short sample,
and perhaps someone will find and fix the problem.

Until that happens, you can add dsize=16/9 before scale, or perhaps
use -aspect 16/9.
