   The second program is called "HandBrake Transcoder" which says it can   
   convert between different formats and was only available as a Flatpak. I   
   installed HandBrake first then the transcoder once HandBrake install was   
   complete so all the authorisations definitely arose from the Transcoder   
   install.
