If you have a windows pc open the command prompt and type
cd\ enter
md .videos enter
You then should have a directory on the c drive called .videos
put your videos in there and then copy over the directory to n900 in mass storage mode.
to play videos you must use the web browser.
file:///media/mmc1 (memory card)
file:///home/user/MyDocs (internal memory)
cd\ enter
md .videos enter

Basically folder name starting with dot is hidden - if media player ignoring that fact, it is either by design or a bug. Report to bugtracker and see what you get.
Other that that copying file to /home/user or tar-ing it might help.
If you are not familiar with console - install xarchiver and just zip videos

You already have a .videos folder in MyDocs. Its where your videos go. Its the standard place for them and it's not hidden at all. That's what the "Video Clips" folder in the file browser (only with an english language n900 i think) If deanoman99 meant to put a .videos folder in the .videos folder then that would actually work, but seems pretty confusing.
You can either rename the files you want to hide to start them with a '.' or you can make a ".hidden" folder. I created a .hidden folder along with a bookmark to open "file:///home/user/MyDocs/.videos/.hidden" with the browser (that's a good tip deanoman, thanks for that) and the files are completely missing from both the file browser and the media player but i can play them from the browser listing.
So I actually tried that out and it definitely worked for me, i could hide and unhide any video files just by renaming and starting with a '.' or not so it should work to hide your porn, err, i mean, hidden videos.
EDIT: I was playing around with .dotfiles for fun (second day with my n900), Higgsboson has a post with the correct way of doing this.

Besides that .hidden trick, there is probabaly way to tweak search engine through .config and tracker file. You can tell the media indexing engine to skip certain directories.
There is more talk about that option here on the forums if you search.
