Thank you Allan for your criticism. Please see the below changes. As far as the embedded loops, I know no other way to achieve the same out come. 

def kill_proc(process1, process2):
   i = psutil.Popen(["ps", "cax"], stdout=PIPE)
   out, err = i.communicate()
   for proc in psutil.process_iter():
       if proc.name == process1 and process2:
           proc.kill()

while True:
   while count < 15:
       count += 1
       kill_proc("bmdplay", "avconv")
       print "Starting the script", count
       time.sleep(2)
       p = subprocess.Popen("/Downloads/bmdtools/test_loop.sh",
shell=True, stderr=PIPE)
       for line in p.stderr:
           print line
           if "Segmentation" in line:
               kill_proc("bmdplay", "avconv")
               while restart < 3:
                   restart += 1
                   time.sleep(2)
                   q =
subprocess.Popen("/Downloads/bmdtools/test_loop.sh", shell=True,
stderr=PIPE)
                   for line in q.stderr:
                       print line
                       if restart == 3:
                       # send email saying so
                           sys.exit()

               while restart < 3:
                   restart += 1
                   sleep.time(2)

                       sys.exit()
       if count == 10:
           print "Going to sleep, will try again in..."

           time.sleep(2)
       if count == 15:
           # send email saying so
           print "Gave up"
           break
