A simple remux to .mp4 of the file creates an unplayable file if MP4Box is used. :/
Remuxing to .mp4 with ffmpeg (Config->Container->Mp4 Settings->FFmpeg instead of MP4Box) as muxer creates a playable synch but laggy output.
When enabling 'Always extract time codes from input' Hybrid reports:
Adjusting frame count (70500) to time code entry count (70993).
which could be troublesome.
When enabling 'Always extract time codes from input' and remuxing to .mp4 with MP4Box, the muxing process crashes.
When enabling 'Always extract time codes from input' and remuxing to .mp4 with FFmpeg, the muxing process finishes and the output is sync.
Playing the file with ffplay one can see:

Also during playback I sometimes see:
number of reference frames (0+5) exceeds max (4; probably corrupt input), discarding one

If this was a transport stream I would say there were some transmisson problems and running something like tsDoctor might help.
Since it's an mkv: Was this stream cut by change somehow?
When enabling 'Always extract time codes from input', reencoding to x264 and muxing to .mp4 with FFmpeg, the muxed output is async.
Problem is that the issues shown during decoding, will cause issues on reencoding and since Hybrid (unlike Handbrake or most FFMpeg based tools for example) doesn't process Audio&Video with the same tool at the same time additional sync compensation on broken streams isn't possible.
Looking at the Input with Vapoursynth + DGDecNV or LWLibAVSource there are 70500 frames undind FFmpegSource2 there are 70499, which conflicts with the number or time codes,...
Sorry, to say this, but Hybrid isn't really made to handle files with such errors in it.
You best bet is using some FFMpeg based tool for reencoding which does av-processing in one FFmpeg call.
That said, here's how I got a sync output, but which shows some artifacts when the decoding fails:
- enable 'Config->Automation->Always extract time codes from input'
- enable 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Script->Always use Vapoursynth'
- disable 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Source->Prefer LWLibAVSource over FFmpegSource2'
- enable 'Config->Container->Mp4 Settings->FFmpeg instead of MP4Box' (might not be necessary, )
