How about...
Use dd to copy the tape back to a single file (dd if=/dev/Stp0 of=/tmp/tape ), with an appropriate block size.
Use mkisofs to create the iso file, and use cdrecord to copy to cd/dvd

Two issues, will the tape fit on the cd/dvd, and do you have enough free disk space, (not more than 25 percent used)?
