astray..presumably. But it because of the doc in which it's written

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/aspect.html

13.10. Preserving aspect ratio

Rescaling the movie is disgusting and
time consuming, there has to be a better way!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

so I believed that libavc opts autoaspect was more quick.
