Not having libdvdcss in the flatpak sandbox would probably be the culprit.  I just tried installing the flatpak myself to see if I could figure out how to make handbrake aware of the dvdcss library and immediately remembered why I got rid of any and all flatpak stuff on my system.  It wanted to download a gigabyte of support flatpak crap to go along with the handbrake install.  That might be fine if I was going to use a ton of flatpaked stuff, but it's seems rather excessive for the one or 2 flatpaks I've ever come across that I might want. ...so it didn't get installed.  I'll find a different way to get the latest version on my system.
