DV Master Tape, Anyone?

I have a question my client wants me to put the master edited version on dv tape in case of any changes in the future. The mini Dv tape is 62 minutes but the wedding is 1:30 minutes. He usually uses only one mini dv tape.

How will I do that. Would I capture the avi into the mini dv tape using long play tape?

Your expertise will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

break the project or final dv avi file into two projects with no overlapping frames.

I just point the cursor near the middle, type s to split, and then save two versions - part one and part two, then print to tape each one to its own master dv tape. At any point, the tapes can be recaptured and butted up against each other and you'll have the same as when you started.
