Description
DVD menu support has long since been removed from MPV, but as of version 0.34.1, when playing a DVD, after the end of a title, MPV will "return" to the disc's menus, the same as a regular DVD player does.
However, due to the dropped support of disc menus, further navigation is not possible, and you become basically stuck until commanding MPV to quit.
"--keep-open" also is ineffective, as MPV does not seem to recognize that it has reached the end of the file.
Desired behavior would be for MPV to treat menu navigation as a marker for end-of-file. (Blu-rays already behave this way, with MPV quitting at end-of-file unless --keep-open=yes.)
Side note: Perhaps a related issue, but the progress bar (and video length) seems to "grow" when approaching the final minute or so of DVD titles.

Research direction
Start by reproducing DVD playback through the end of a title and inspect the DVD playback and menu-navigation path. The change is done when reaching a disc menu is treated as end-of-file, including the expected --keep-open behavior, without leaving navigation stuck.
