Yes and no. Under windows i know of no way to get something not iso9660, 
under Linux you can actually use any filesystem on the CD you want to. 
I've used ext2 on a  CD when making backups from a linux system on CD. 
Is useful because you can save all you want without the limitations of 
iso9660 and have it immediately readable.
