Render Videos in Script Without Overwriting Itself

How can I Export - Render Video in script so that it will not overwrite the exported video when running through several files? I have tried calling an action in script but the action always writes to the same name. Is it possible for an action to be called multiple times and have a different name each time. Or maybe it has to be done in script? Either way would be fine as long as I can find a way that will work. Thanks.

Actions and scripts are different things.

If you record the action without changing the filename, then the action will use whatever the current filename is. In other words, it will not record an explicit filename entry. If you change the name, then the name is recorded into the action, overwriting previous files.

Yes, that's the problem. It overwrites the filename. So I guess it's not possible using an action. How can I Export - Render Video using script so that hopefully I can write out the video files using the filenames that I am processing?

Please read my post again. It is possible. Don't change the filename when recording the action.
