Can't get MakeMKV working

So once I was able to install Bazzite, I liked it - I could actually play Steam games without all the issues that were plaguing me in Kubuntu, and the Flatpak model meant everything Just Worked... until, of course, it didn't.

I can't get MakeMKV running; it hangs trying to read my external Blu-ray drive. After much digging through their forums, the suggestion I see most often is to downgrade to 1.17.7 and try that. The problem is, the earliest version available on Flathub is 1.17.9. (I tried it anyway. No soap.) I can get 1.17.7 from the MakeMKV website, but it's in a format that requires compiling... and I'm not sure how to go about that on Bazzite. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to proceed here? (Before you ask, I'm also asking on the MakeMKV forums and the forums that suggested I use Bazzite in the first place.)
