when burning a data CD, you always had to be careful about not having
directories that went too deep or had names that were too long. the
max length of the path could never be > 64 characters or so. does this
limit apply to data DVD-Rs as well?

There are no such limits for CD or DVD. There are limits for ISO (64, more
with joliet) and UDF (256+) formats.

Almost all DVD are UDF, often with ISO too. Win 2K/XP/ME would ignore the ISO.
