 From Mac Help,  "Burning a CD or DVD"

"Mac OS X burns discs that can also be used on Windows computers and  
other types of computers. The disc uses an HFS Plus/ISO 9660 hybrid  
format with these file systems: HFS+, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge, and  
Joliet with Rock Ridge."

I also think there's a way to change file systems if you use Disk  
Utility.
