Remember that we're burning using Linux-based tools, not Windows-based
ones.  I have no clue how to provide you support for Windows, nor will I
even try.  Sorry.  Try burning it under an OS that doesn't suck and if
you're still having problems, let us know.

Umm... no.  A DVD can be *either* UDF or iso9660.  If your software is
refusing to work with >700MB ISO9660 images, it is broken.

Broken.  File a bug.

Windows.  Try the same under Linux and it'll work.

Well, catalyst produces images which are within the ISO spec.  If your
tools do not work with them, submit patches.  Otherwise, we're not going
to change anything, as we're within the defined specification which
other tools are supposed to follow.
