Try Streamclip first. It's a free app. If it plays, you can trim it right there and export the file in a variety of formats.
For VisualHub:
Click the "Advanced" button to bring up the custom settings window. In the video section look at the popup menu for Extra FFmpeg Flags. In there put -vcodec copy (or choose the passthrough setting from the popup)
