[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] doc/filters: Reformat scale filter doc

ITU-R BT.470-6 is superseded in 2005. Its successor, BT.470-7, is just a
wrapper to BT.1700 and BT.1701-1. It turns out that 1700 and 1701-1 has some
overlapping parts, but with different names. As a result, I add 1700 and
1701-1, and keep 470-6 because of its popularity.

 The scale filter forces the output display aspect ratio to be the same
 of the input, by changing the output sample aspect ratio.

 The filter accepts the following options:
 
 @table @option
 @item width, w
-Set the output video width expression. Default value is @code{iw}. See
-below for the list of accepted constants.

 @item height, h
-Set the output video height expression. Default value is @code{ih}.
-See below for the list of accepted constants.
+Set the output video dimension expression. Default value is the input
+dimension.
+
+If the value is 0, the input width is used for the output.

+If one of the values is -1, the scale filter will use a value that
+maintains the aspect ratio of the input image, calculated from the
+other specified dimension. If both of them are -1, the input size is
+used
