I can't definitely answer your question other than saying that I've
encountered the same issue. Path file lengths are also a problem once
moved to the PC as well so ISO 9660 will NOT work for you.

Can you not burn actual DVD video discs instead? If you're producing on
the mac, convert to DVD video and burn custom DVDs. Not exactly what
you wanted, but at least they'll be viewable on the PC.
