.iso is a disk image, DVD is an optical disc format, and MPV is a software media player. None of these really have anything to do with anything.
You're probably dealing with MPEG-2 video (what was standard on DVD) with low frame rates and the player is trying (badly) to fill in the gaps. But let me be clear, I'm not besmirching MPV, it's probably doing the best it can. It's probably the source. If it's from DVD, it's max 720x480 (16:9; 640x480 for 4:3, not sure what these old Naruto eps are in). So you could do better with some webrip from Crunchy or whatever where it's 1080p, either natively or, for the old Naruto, possibly upscaled. Or just find it in 720p (1280x720).
(Just checked mine, it's 480p.) (Let me know what episode and time stamp this is and I'll check mine.)
As an anime fan, I once made the mistake of buying a video cd. Two episodes per disc, you can imagine.
I bought .hack//SIGN like that. Except I think it was 4 per disc. Something like 24 episodes, it had six discs. But some had more than others. What was cool was if you put the DVD cases together, they had letters on them, and they spelled LOGOUT. So it was basically SAO before SAO was SAO... only it was one guy trapped in the game, not ten thousand. Ton of other similarities. Not that I like it more — SAO did almost everything better, even if it was completely derivative.
Back in the day, Star Trek episodes used to come on VHS, two episodes to a tape.
Two episode a tape?! How long was one episode again?
Damn that's a lot of new information to me xD
I can unfortunately not tell you the episode or the timestamp since the files I'm playing are whole discs, containing several episodes each. Does this give you anything?
Well, it tells you I was right about the resolution (720x480) and it gives you the frame rate, 29.97 (effectively 30 but not quite, mathematically). And the audio is basically uncompressed 48khz at 1536kbps. And that you're watching in Japanese (ja) and English (en) isn't available.
It looks like you're 14:20 into a 1:09:27 DVD which is like 3 episodes?
Yeah :D if you're familiar with the story, then it's Sakura's and Ino's duel.
While the aspect ratio is such that the picture is a square with some empty space on the sides, I don't understand how a measly 720x480 can look this "unpixelated" on my 43 inch 4K TV screen...
I'm not. Naruto is on my server because my wife asked for it. But, she's watching One Piece instead. It's still on my server because I haven't had to make room yet.
(One Piece is not on my server. She's watching that on Netflix.)
