It's not a reasonable way to say that I have some of my apps data in an sd-card, so no one else should access that!, Better try some alternative like encrypting your data, so that even if someone accessed, they must not be able to read it!

You can't get any kind of this, So if possible store the video in internal storage (but if device can rooted then also user can access it), or store in a web server and at a play time play from web. And only option is as per David Schwartz suggested do encryption/Decryption for it.

That is not a sensible way to accomplish what you are trying to do. You should be storing the data encrypted and decrypting it strictly in your application. You will never get any kind of 'hiding' to work right.
