I think something like the following should work to allow you to
directly copy each tape to DVD:
dd if=/dev/tape \
| flyisofs mbc=2295104 fbc=350000 \
| growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/fd/0
If your archives span across multiple tapes, you might want to use
flyisofs in combination with shunt. The home page for shunt and
flyisofs is located at the following URL:
