Re: duplicating tapes
The best way would be to borrow a friends camera and hook them together, playing out on one and record on the other. Or rent a deck for a day to copy your tapes from camera to deck.
Other than that the easiest way would be to "Capture Now" a complete tape, drop that file into a sequence and print it back out to tape. But then if you've gone to the trouble of capturing, why then be worried about making a copy of your tape. You should make a copy before you ever capture if your concerned about preserving your original tape.

Re: duplicating tapes
Exactly. One of the great things about DV cameras is that they can make digital clones of the tapes. The best/easiest way is to get another camera (any firewire camera will do) and plug 'em together and just dupe it.

Re: duplicating tapes
I had to make a copy one time and didn't have another camera, so I ended up having to capture it all to final cut and then playing it back to another tape in my camcorder.
