Standard discs hold 650MB or there abouts. The normal filesystem used on a data CDROM is [ISO]-9660, although most discs also use MicrosoftCorporation's Joliet extensions that allow some things like long filenames (although some characters that are valid on unix filesystems are not allowed). Another such extension is called Rock Ridge.
