I have had to solve a similar problem with ALingA[1], but not in the
specific context of annotated video.

Whether the serial number is the same as the track id, the two have to
be in 1-1 correspondence. So it would be simpler to use the serial
number as the track id. I have not found this identity to be an obstacle
in implementations.
