Thanks very much all -
Will see if mkhybrid makes a difference -
Don't quite know why I didn't think to check cdrfaq.

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.
