Just batch render to NTSC DV, please

I'm tearing my hair out trying to restrict the batch render script to just one template type!

Assuming I can figure that one out with someone's help, it should be easy enough to insert a new template name to batch render to -- for instance, I have what I call my "Best" NTSC DV template, and then a "Best MOS" template for silent video -- it would be great to create two scripts that batch render out to either on the fly by just looking over a batch render script and replacing a variable in one script with another...

Now, granted it is 3am, but I've looked over the sample script and I think the coding is beyond me. Thanks up front to those of you who will no doubt find this question to be a remedial one :)

Please clarify bit more... do you want to batch render multiple projects using one render template, batch render one project using multiple templates, or multiple projects with multiple templates?

Of course, if it is one-to-one, you should not even use a script.

Batch render multiple projects using one template. Sorry about the lack of clarity before (it was getting real late.) Also, what about rendering multiple clips on a timeline into separate files?

Rendering multiple projects with one template can be done with the RenderQueue script (here). You can modify the two variables, rendererRE and templateRE, to meet your needs. These are regular expressions and you can read the comments in the BatchRender script to get an idea of how to use them to match a particular render template. I think there's another similar script out there with a GUI.

Rendering multiple clips on a timeline into separate files can be achieved by creating regions on the timeline and using the BatchRenderGUI script (here). It has the option to render each region (as does the GUI-less version of the script but there you'll need to modify one variable).
