Unfortunately not, the hiding code is not clever enough to group all the unhidden HFS files and make a smaller HFS volume ... What I guess you need is some sort of 'separate' hybrid DVD (mkisofs makes a 'shared' HFS hybrid), whereby you have a separate HFS volume and an ISO9660 volume on the DVD. I wrote something years ago that took an HFS volume image and an ISO9660 image and 'merged' them in to a single 'separate' hybrid image - although I have no idea where the code is at the moment. Another way of doing it is detailed at: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/mkisofs_plus.html but is based on a very (very!) old version of mkisofs ...
