English question

I have a question about sentence (1).

(1) I saw him eat his dinner.

Does (1) mean that I saw his dinner situation from the beginning to the end?
Or does (1) focus on the end of the event, i.e. I saw him as he finished his dinner?

In general, it would mean you had dinner together.... That's how it would be used. I'm not sure why others are making longer explanations.
