i know nothing about winff, but you can scale maintaining aspect ratio
specifying only one dimension with the scale filter in libavfilter. This is
not integrated into the main repo yet, so you would need to build your own
ffmpeg (or find a win32 binary) with libavfilter support to get that to
work.

i would guess the reason that main ffmpeg doesn't do what you want is that
not all pixels are square - therefore picture aspect ratio is not the same
as width/height. That's why libav* maintain aspect ratio and frame size
quite separately.
