Thank you. The -vfm ffmpeg now scales the video correctly, but
-identify still reports the aspect ratio as 0.0000.

I use a script for encoding with mencoder. The script reads the aspect
ratio from the output of -identify. Now with this problem, the script
fails to detect the aspect ratio, and I am having to provide it
manually.
