TFM says:

scale[=w:h[:c[:p]]] 
    Scales the image with the software scaler (slow) and performs a
    YUV<->RGB colorspace conversion (see -sws  option  too).   The
    value 0 is used for scaled (aspect) destination w/h.  (default:
    original w/h, destination  w/h  with  -zoom)  Optionaly  chroma
    skipping  (c from 0-3) and scaling parameters can be specified.
    (see the -sws option for details)

so all this stupidly long drawn out and sidetracked thread was started 
when you'd not even bothered to try an option you already knew about, and 
is even called "scale"???
