I eventually found out that I messed up when I bought this drive...
It can't burn Bluray discs.
Here is a link to the full product description:
http://www.asus.com/Optical_Drives/BC12B1ST/specifications/

For your convenience, here is a list from that page of all the write
modes that this device supports:

Write Speed
DVD+R : 16X
DVD-R : 16X
DVD+RW : 8X
DVD-RW : 6X
DVD+R(DL) : 8X
DVD-R (DL) : 8X
DVD-RAM : 12X
CD-R : 48X
CD-RW : 24X

Writing Mode
DVD+R & DVD+R (DL) : Sequential Write
DVD-R & DVD-R(DL) : DAO/Incremental Recording
DVD+RW : Random Write
DVD-RW : DAO/Restricted Overwrite/Incremental Recording
DVD-RAM : Random Write
CD-R/RW : DAO/TAO/SAO/Packet Write

So, I need to return this drive and get the right one.
