What you are getting is the standard CD/DVD mode for Windows. It is
the equivalent to the FAT file system, as opposed to the VFAT file
system. If you want case sensitive names, you need to allow Windows
compatibility. The prompt is misleading that way.

I normally use GnomeBreaker to burn CD/DVDs. The windows
compatibility mode (Juliet file system) is enabled by default. So is
the Rockridge file system for Linux name support. You can still read
CD/DVDs without the Rockridge file system. Linux know about the
Juliet extension to the standard CD/DVD file format. You just do not
get the Unix file attributes.
