You can find your current transcode profile settings by running the SQL command:
mysql> select r.* from recordingprofiles r,profilegroups p where
p.name='Transcoders' and p.id=r.profilegroup;
This should give you something that looks like this:
+----+----------------+------------+------------+--------------+
| id | name | videocodec | audiocodec | profilegroup |
+----+----------------+------------+------------+--------------+
| 21 | RTjpeg/MPEG4 | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 22 | MPEG2 | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 27 | High Quality | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 28 | Medium Quality | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
| 29 | Low Quality | MPEG-4 | MP3 | 6 |
+----+----------------+------------+------------+--------------+

Most likely you're setup is much the same, meaning that -p 29 will
give you the Low Quality profile. Make sure you double check your FE,
Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> TV
Settings -> Recording Profiles -> Transcoders that you've properly set
the parameters you want.
CLI command should look something like this:
$ mythtranscode -i /path/to/1011_20060909190000.nuv -o
/path/to/output/file.avi -l (to enable cutlist) -p 29 (assuming 29 is
your Low Quality Profile) --showprogress (if you want status info)
