You can use "shared assets"

A common way to construct a disc for the Mac and PC is as a "hybrid" disc
that has both an ISO-9660 filesystem and an HFS filesystem. To save space,
the data itself is shared by both sections of the disc. This is possible
because the ISO-9660 directory entries use an absolute block offset on the
disc, so they can point at data residing in the HFS filesystem.

There are various applications that will do HFS/ISO-9660 hybrids. Roxio's
Toast for the Mac and "mkhybrid" for the PC are two examples.
