Sounds like you are missing libdvdcss available from:
https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html

Without that installed the system has no way to decrypt your DVDs so they will appear pixelated

Recently I reinstalled Handbrake to Linux (Pop OS) hoping to start ripping DVDs again. Previously it was a deb package but it appears Handbrake has moved to Flatpak for Linux distribution.

This version of Handbrake is not working for me and I'm struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. When Handbrake scans the DVD it does not find anything. I have to open and start the DVD in VLC and then Handbrake it will find it in its scan. What it does find shows as pixelated in both the preview as well as any rip it makes for me. I've tried a handful of the presets and no matter what I chose I get the same pixelated output.

Are there any other Flatpak/Handbrake users in this group that have it working successfully for them who can give me some guidance?
