What media is actual using 29.97/59.94 ?
All broadcast television in North America is MPEG2 29.97/59.94... However if the issue is with VC-1 only, then it is likely to be Blu-ray rips that use VC-1 encoding to carry native interlaced content - which is likely to be sport, music concerts etc.
In Europe we have issues because there is no 25p Blu-ray standard, so almost (*) all of our TV series shot at 25p are released 50i (with 2:2 pulldown) on Blu-ray. If VC-1 encoding is used rather than H264/AVC then we hit the interlaced VC-1 issue. Some BBC Blu-rays are interlaced VC-1 for example.
(*) The alternative is to do a 'Slow PAL' conversion where the 25p content is slowed down to 24p and the audio pitch corrected, allowing for a 24p release on Blu-ray. The first series of Downton Abbey was released this way in the US and the UK on Blu-ray.
