Which Video Module Should I Use For Private Video Files?

I am working on a women's self defense instructional web site, and I would like to host instructional videos. I would like to prevent access to these videos based on role (e.g. Role 1 would have access to videos a, b, c and Role 2 would have access to videos d, e, f). I have been reviewing, and installing various video modules, but I cannot figure out how to implement any of them in such a way that would restrict access to the videos.

Content Permissions

Use CCK FileField together with SWF Tools to upload and display your videos in a custom 'video' content type. Then, use a content access module, of which there are many, to restrict access to your 'video' content type. This one should work for you: http://drupal.org/project/content_access.

This, however, does require your videos to be .flv's, which they should be anyway...

Pefect - Thanks!
