You need a space. It should be -p 29.

Also, make sure you've got your low qulaity transcoder parameters set
properly. I just ran a test of this using settings of:
- resize video while transcoding
- 320 x 240
- MPEG4
- Bitrate: 900
- scale bitrate for framesize

Original recording (30 min): 1.1 GB
transcoded recording: 77.8 MB
