I fixed this in my config module I created to user Handbrake rather then
the default avconv/ffmpeg profiles

you could add this line after the avconv command for which ever profile
your using or my full config profile is below

system("chmod 666 \'$self->{_outputFile}$self->{_extension}\'");

/usr/share/mythexport/configs/iPhoneHandbrake.pm

==cut==
#!/usr/bin/perl

package iPhoneHandbrake;

use ExportBase;

our @ISA = qw(ExportBase);

my $description = "Low Resolution (480x?) Handbrake H264 Settings.";
my $devices = "Handbrake iPhone & iPod Touch profile (example iPod Touch,
iPhone, iPad";
my $notes = "Requires Handbrake, <a href=\"
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu\">activate Medibuntu</a>";
my $version = "1.0";

sub new{
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new(shift, shift, $description, $devices,
$notes, $version);
    bless $self, $class;
    return $self;
}

sub export{
    my( $self ) = @_;

    system("HandBrakeCLI -i \'$self->{_inputFile}\' -o
\'$self->{_outputFile}$self->{_extension}\' --preset='iPhone & iPod
Touch'");
    system("chmod 666 \'$self->{_outputFile}$self->{_extension}\'");
}

1;
==cut==

Cheers,

Anthony
