I have a Liteon iHBS312 Blu-ray burner and I am using Cyberlink Power2Go version 6.1.0.4715 as the burning software.
I recently purchased a Sony 100 GB BD-RE disc (for a data backup), but when I load it in the drive, the software says it is only 25 GB.
When I insert a dual-layer 50 GB disc, the size is correctly detected.
Is this a problem with the software? I realize v 6 is very old now, but it is the software that I got with the drive and it has always served me well, hence why I have never needed to upgrade (I only use it about once every two years when I do a full back-up of my NAS).
Or is it the Liteon burner itself?
Just looking for advice before I either purchase a new copy of the software or a new disc burner. Thank you.

Be wary of backing up to optical media... especially re-writable. – Attie – 2018-04-25T11:44:48.650
Are you sure the device supports the disk format your trying to use? – Ramhound – 2018-04-25T11:48:19.620
The device only supports double layer BD-RE you bought disks that your device doesn’t even support – Ramhound – 2018-04-25T11:52:08.220
Thanks guys, that's what I wasn't sure, whether it was the device or the software – danwellman – 2018-04-25T11:54:03.207
Thanks @Attie, it's just the last-ditch fail-safe. I use the NAS itself as the back-up, and every couple of years I dump it to disc – danwellman – 2018-04-25T11:58:35.750
1Ok, just bear in mind that optical media may not survive the "couple of years" period... :-) – Attie – 2018-04-25T11:59:45.310
btw, any recommendations for a burner that supports BDXL? – danwellman – 2018-04-25T12:03:24.340
@danwellman - Questions seeking hardware recommendations are absolutely not within scope here at Superuser. Go to your favorite source for computer electronics, find a couple of options, then read user reviews. Amazon and Newegg have several.
