You've completely misunderstood.  It's scaling to the correct aspect
BEFORE cropping/scaling.

I think you're just making this far more difficult for yourself.  If you
want the correct aspect ratio set in the output file, use "-lavcopts
autoaspect".  If you want square pixels (for players like that don't
support an aspect in MPEG-4 video or in an AVI) then just use "-vf
scale=-1:-10".
