Is there a setting in FFmpeg that would allow me to set the source tag of a video so I can keep track of the videos I have (or have not) encoded in the past? Maybe add text to current tag and/or replace the tag?

I was doing some investigation and found this answer over on StackOverflow: How to add arbitrary or custom metadata in MP4?

This only applies to MP4 outputs. In your case, you could use something like this:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -metadata sourceType="your value here" -movflags +use_metadata_tags output.mp4
