VC-1 is actually a decent codec and can have great results, but the one most people flip out about (and rightfully so) is MPEG2 since it's a very old codec (1996) and usually is accompanied by a ton of video anomalies that can easily be avoided by using one of the better codecs.
Sadly, some studios still do cheap out. The American Pie trilogy used old MPEG2 masters done for the DVDs, converted to MPEG4. Basically the equivalent of putting a turd in shrink-wrap. lol
