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.
