Add suffix to playblast render to prevent overwrite
It is too easy to overwrite an existing render when writing out a playblast sequence - the proposal is to automatically (default checkbox on?) add a "_playblast" suffix to a playblast output, or add a sub-folder into the render folder to prevent the playblast from overwriting an existing render.

A similar issue also exists in the Output Tab for Rendering files: there is a spontaneous and unwanted overriding from the current file settings, without any Option to follow a different, less dangerous behavior (like the Suffix one seems a reliable one, although it would be better if that were indeed a Togglable Option: Override File Vs. Not Override but add Suffix.
One problem is that the Playblast Operators have no direct Options specifically to them... or they are mixed with settings in the Output Tab. To be fair, it is pretty confusing the way it is now.
Maybe, the Output Tab in the Properties Editor should have a section (like a Panel or some Options) dedicated to Playblast Rendering Operators?
