The two scans would only be identical if you were using the same equipment with the same algorithms. I don't see it as the same as copying a DVD.

A rip of a DVD is also only identical if you're using the same equipment and the same algorithm. XviD and x264 produce different compression artifacts, but they're still making a reproduction rather than a creative work.
