You can't really hide them - you can set the File Attribute Hidden bit, but even then the user can see them if he changes the Windows Explorer View options.
Depending on how you are viewing them, you could try changing the extensions so they are not obvious as video files, or adding them as embedded videos to your application. Alternatively, you may be able to insert them into a ZIP or RAR archive and password protect it - but it depends on how you show them.
