Lossless is lossless....

As far as advanced codecs codecs go, AVC vs VC-1 means jack shxt.

It is all about the master used, if the encoder used digital tweaks and/or provided reasonable bitrates or not.

DVDsBlow:

I'm well aware that at the end of the day, lossless is lossless and that the difference between AVC and VC-1 is minimal but that was the OP's question; what is the difference? I'm only answering the OP's question.

AVC: normally slightly higher bitrate than VC-1 if compressed properly.
DTS-HD MA: also can produce a higher bitrate, as well as having better 'base' reproduction and generally 'louder.'
