Does he own the copyright or just has the tapes?

If he owns the copyright and makes a license agreement with you for
mechanical duplication and sales you can have them duplicated or copied to
DVD and sell them.

If he doesn't own the copyright and you copy it and sell it you are in
violation of copyright law and if caught could be subject to some fairly
large fines etc.
