I agree with Schlomo's advice to use Mpeg Streamclip, its great for converting various sorts of mpegs, can be very useful if working with native hdv mpeg2 transport streams for example, though this is needed les these days since more editors support hdv.
I dont quite agree with his explanation of whats caused your problem though. Demuxing audio is definately needed but if your stuff is out of sync, its not a question of VisualHub failing to do that, but rather making a mess of doing it. This could be because of some bug in VisualHub or it could be due to a quirk in the sony mpeg format from that camera, or it could be due to a mistake with settings. For example if the framerate of your original footage is not the same as what its getting converted to, this could caause audio sync issues. If visualhub is reading the sony mpeg file and is being told the wrong framerate or audio sample rate of the mpeg file, this could also cause the problem. Either way its probably easiest to try Mpeg Steamclip instead, depends how much 'fun' it is to explore the root cause. Which camera is it out of interest?
