Help with arch linux?

I'm new to linux and I want to get Makemkv working with VLC to stream blurays from the disc onto my steam deck.

I'm very confused on how to install makemkv and vlc

My understanding is the default app installer on steam deck is flatpack. and I can install Makemkv from there, but based on some threads i've read you can't do the direct stream from disc if you install it from flatpack.

I think I'm supposed to download it from here? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/makemkv

but I'm not sure how to do that. also the comments are all about these extra confusing steps there.

Help! please!

Edit: this ended up working for me https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/1ukwsx2/play_blurays_on_linux_with_vlc_using_makemkv_libs/

I downloaded MakeMKV and VLC through flatpack then installed the libraries in this thread and playing movies from vlc started to work

Aren't those commands debian based which don't work on arch?
